The cause of the Woodland Hills fire is undetermined.

A two-car fire brought firefighters out in force to an apartment complex on Del Valle Street in Woodland Hills Wednesday morning.

The cars were located in an underground parking garage directly below the apartments. In addition to the two cars involved in the fire, three additional cars suffered damaged by exposure to the flames, according to Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Joseph Foley.

Though smoke filtered up to the building's second and third floors, no units were damaged and nobody was injured in the blaze, Foley said.
