The fire, which is under investigation, started about 1:45 a.m. at a complex at 14301 Aetna St., Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
About 55 firefighters battled the blaze for about 25 minutes before they were able to extinguish it, Humphrey said. Both buildings were virtually destroyed, he said.
