SAN CARLOS, Calif. – A fire at a San Francisco Bay area warehouse early Tuesday damaged a vintage car and other memorabilia belonging to singer Neil Young, authorities said.
The 10,000-square-foot building in San Carlos contained only items belonging to Young and his family, including six vintage cars and paintings and what appears to be cases of musical equipment, said Belmont-San Carlos Fire Chief Doug Fry.
Some of the memorabilia was removed as the fire burned, but it's not clear how much was salvaged, Fry said. Young, an avid collector of classic cars, has more recently worked on a project to turn his 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible into an electric vehicle.
Young's family was also at the scene this morning, with a photographer to help document the damage.
Reports were first received at 2:55am for a fire burning at 595 Quarry Rd, according to the Belmont-San Carlos dispatcher. The building is estimated at 10,000-square-feet.
That address is associated with Fable Inc., a manufacturer of architectural metalwork for homes and businesses, according to the manufacturer's website.
The manufacturer describes the warehouse as a 15,000-square-foot space devoted to the production of railings, gates, doors, and balconies.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation although it did not appear to be suspicious, officials said.
