SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle authorities are investigating after a pair of fires started during the early morning hours on Christmas Eve.

KOMO-TV reports a two-alarm fire in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood was just the beginning for firefighters on Monday.

Firefighters were called at about 3:45 a.m. for a fire in an alleyway next to multiple businesses. The flames spread to three of the buildings.



But as crews worked on extinguishing that fire, a witness reported another fire about 30 minutes later. Firefighters determined that blaze also started outside.

Both fires have since been extinguished, and investigators are working to determine causes. No one was injured in the blazes.
