Crews responded to two separate fires located just a block apart in Queen Anne Wednesday morning.

One fire is at a building under construction at 6th Avenue North and Prospect. A larger fire is at Highland Drive and Taylor Avenue North in a garage attached to a house that appears to be vacant, according to Seattle Fire.

Both fires are now under control, but crews are expected to be out for several hours.

Fire investigators are on scene working to determine the cause of both fires.
