Firefighters were able to knock down the fire quickly.

However, it did cause either fire or smoke damage to five units, according to an email from a Bexar County spokeswoman.

It also left a pickup scorched and its owner with a minor burn to his hand.

He was taken to a hospital by ambulance.

According to the fire chief on scene, it appeared the man had been living in the storage unit where the fire started.

No one else was hurt.

A worker with the storage company told KSAT 12 News that the business was planning to notify customers directly about the fire.
