In the original warehouse fire, crews say they believe the warehouse was vacant. They were able to stop the flames from spreading to any other buildings or homes.
Firefighters were still at the scene of the warehouse fire Monday morning to mop up hot spots.
No one was reported injured in either fire.
Exactly what caused both fires is still under investigation.
