The cause of a fire that totaled a 2012 Volvo and a 1990s Honda Civic early Saturday is still unknown, according to a police source.

The blaze in front of 606 East Ninth Street (the former P.S. 64 building) was called in at 1:24 a.m. Saturday and extinguished by 1:45 a.m., according to Jim Flynn, a neighbor who posted footage to YouTube.

The incident was first reported on EV Grieve, who also noted a motorcycle fire on East Third Street this morning.
