Authorities say a couple trying to beat the high cost of gasoline accidentally caused a fire that burned their apartment complex.
Fire Chief Richard Arruda says the couple had about 45 gallons of gasoline in nine plastic jugs stacked in a closet that also housed an air conditioning unit.
The gasoline fumes apparently set off Wednesday's fire, which was quickly put out by a sprinkler system.
No one was seriously hurt, but residents of eight units were displaced.
Investigators believe the couple were storing the gas because of rising prices. Officials say they might face civil penalties for violating the fire code.
(This version CORRECTS the day of fire to Wednesday, instead of Thursday.)
