"It was extremely upsetting, nerve-wracking," Dorn said. "I'm just so grateful for the fire department, how quickly they responded and for everyone else who came."
Terry Ann Cain, who also lives across the street from the storage facility, said the fire was especially frightening because her house burned down six years ago.
"It was kind of like reliving, like going through your mind, like what's going to happen," Cain said. "Everyone seemed to be jumping in, helping, [and] carrying the hoses to get it done. It was amazing watching everybody work together."
According to the fire marshal, the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
