Residents of an apartment building in Hartford had to be evacuated early Monday morning due to a car fire near the building.
Firefighters responded to the area of 299 Garden Street around 4:53 a.m. When they arrived they found a car on fire in the back of the building. The fire extended from the vehicle to a closed porch.
Fire crews knocked down the fire before it spread to any of the apartments. There was minor fire damage to the porch. No injuries were reported.
Ten people in the six apartments were evacuated as a precaution, but the residents should be able to return shortly.
The fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
