Officials in Woodbury are investigating a morning fire that damaged as many as three homes, injuring as many as seven people.

According to officials, crews responded to the 700 block of Mehorter Boulevard sometime around 3:40 a.m. for a report of a fast moving fire.

Just minutes after firefighters arrived the home collapsed, damaging two cars in the driveway. The fire which was place under control within approximately an hour, also destroyed a vacant home and a newly renovated home which according to authorities appears to be salvageable.
