At approximately 2:15 a.m., St. Johns County Fire Rescue responded to the 100 block of Killarney Avenue in the Beachwalk neighborhood for a reported structure fire, the agency said.

Firefighters arrived to find a working garage fire. Crews quickly attacked the blaze, searched the residence to confirm no occupants were inside and extinguished the fire before it could spread further into the home, officials said. No injuries were reported.

The fire is believed to have originated from a charging e-bike in the garage, SJFR said. Officials urged residents to use manufacturer-approved chargers, avoid charging lithium-ion batteries unattended or overnight, and keep them away from combustible materials whenever possible.
