Two recent fires in Citrus Heights included a blaze that damaged more than 100 storage units last week and a car fire over Memorial Day Weekend.
CubeSmart Self-Storage, located at 7562 Greenback Ln. in Citrus Heights, experienced a late-night fire last week that damaged 140 storage units, according to a representative from the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. CubeSmart employees told The Sentinel on Tuesday that current customers who have rented storage units were allowed back on site as of May 28, but were not allowed to access Building B, where the fire damaged 140 units.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation by Metro Fire.

Social media images show a white, two-door Chevrolet heavily engulfed in flames, with Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District crews responding. Scrubs and Beyond employees told The Sentinel that the car exploded on Saturday morning, May 25, without warning.
As of Tuesday morning, the burned wreckage of the car remains in the parking lot in between Scrubs and Beyond and Firestone Complete Auto Care. It appears the majority of the car sustained heavy fire damage, while the back end remained intact. Metro Fire did not respond to a request for comment regarding the car fire.
