Flames engulfed a storage shed in west Orange County Saturday afternoon, causing the structure to collapse, Orange County Fire Rescue officials said.

Firefighte­rs were called to the building in the 4200 block of Jackson Street about 2:45 p.m. Smoke and flames were visible when they arrived, the agency said on social media.

The fire was put out by 3 p.m., according to Fire Rescue spokeswoma­n Ashley Gipson.

No one was injured, but officials said the structure, located on the property of a home in the Malibu Groves area near Ivey Lane Elementary, collapsed from the flames.

The State Fire Marshal was called to investigat­e after Orange County Fire Rescue officials believed the fire may have started from “an illegal burn that got out of hand,” Gipson said.
