Small fire spreads across 2 Oakland Beach backyards

WARWICK -- A small fire spread across the backyards of two houses in the Oakland Beach neighborhood this morning, Battalion Chief Gary Meegan said.

The one-alarm fire apparently sparked around 7:30 a.m. and spread between a cinderblock garage and a large wood shed in adjacent properties on Manning Street, Meegan said.

The shed and garage were only a foot apart, separated by a wooden stockade fence that also caught fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the fire prevention bureau, Meegan said. There were no injuries or damage to the houses.
