Cherry Hill Fire Chief Chris Callan said the facility was unoccupied at the time of the incident, but that the fire damaged both the contents of the units as well as the buildings themselves due to the intensity of the heat.
No injuries were reported.
The incident is currently under investigation by the township fire marshal.
