SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

Southside Fire crews were called to a home at Mapmaker road and Whitemarsh Island road for a fire in someone's backyard.

Take a look at this cell phone video sent in from our Conny Cooper. The fire started around 4:45 Sunday afternoon. The shed in the backyard, a wooden fence and a nearby tree were all damaged by the blaze. Firefighters say when they arrived their first concern was to find out what types of flamable items were in the shed.

"The lady, the person who lives here said she pulled the gas out, but there was still some paint cans and some other stuff in there that was on fire," said Scott Kimball.

"All I know is I was inside watching the game with my sons and I started hearing fire trucks and when I came outside it was smoke all over, the whole tree was on fire," said neighbor Tony Benton.

Fire crews were able to quickly put the fire out no word on what caused it.
