ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. — A garage full of antique and hot rod cars went up in flames Sunday afternoon in Rowan County.

Firefighters responded to a three-alarm fire just after 2 p.m. in the 800 block of Yost Road.

Fire officials were able to get 14 of the cars out of the garage with minor damage. The fire burned half of the roof of the garage, which collapsed on three cars.

Investigators said a man was staying in a camper parked next to the garage when the camper caught fire and the flames spread to the garage.
