WARWICK, R.I. (WJAR) — The Warwick Fire Department said it responded to a fire at a marina warehouse on Masthead Drive Thursday.
The department said the original call was for smoke conditions at the warehouse that was discovered to have originated from a fire in a partition.
Firefighters had to cut through sheet metal to get to the fire but it was then extinguished quickly.
The fire came from a "heating device or torch" used to melt ice.
The department said the fire was contained to the garage area and there were no injuries.
