A fire that started in one vehicle damaged five other vehicles Thursday morning in Coldbrook, N.S.

Kentville deputy fire chief Ian Fairclough and other volunteer firefighters responded to the call at a business along Highway 1 in Coldbrook, shortly after 4 a.m.

Fairclough said it appears the fire started in one vehicle and spread to the others.

The vehicles were on two commercial lots separated by a fence along the main street through the town. 

One is an auto repair business, the other belongs to a business that sells cars.

Fairclough said the investigation into the cause of the fire has been turned over to RCMP.
