A small brush fire behind businesses in Huntington Beach damaged a group of storage containers Sunday, fire officials said.

Huntington Beach firefighters responded to Whittier Wood Products at 17661 Sampson Lane shortly after 5 p.m. on a report of a commercial structure fire.

When fire crews arrived, the blaze, which began near railroad tracks next to a business, had spread to storage containers. Firefighters extinguished the flames quickly, officials said.

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire.
