BOXBORO (CBS) – Five cars were destroyed in a fire at a repair shop in Boxboro early Wednesday morning.

The owner Ken Carroll, a former firefighter, told WBZ-TV he helped douse the flames with a dry chemical extinguisher. He praised Boxborough firefighters for keeping the fire away from the shop.

The cause is under investigation, but Carroll said it might be an accident.

"We don't know yet. We're pulling the cameras right now to make sure no one else was there. I've been doing cars all my life, it could've just been a wire, anybody could have a car fire," he told WBZ.
