Four vehicles were damaged Tuesday by a car fire that spread through part of an Atlanta Journal-Constitution parking lot.

No injuries were reported in the blaze, which broke out about 7:30 in the lot at the AJC building on Perimeter Center Parkway in Dunwoody.

By the time firefighters arrived a few minutes later, a Hyundai Santa Fe was fully engulfed in flames, and the fire had spread to a Chevrolet pickup truck and a Honda Accord parked nearby. A fourth vehicle was also damaged by the fire.

Fire investigators determined that the tailpipe of one of the vehicles came into direct contact with pine straw, igniting the blaze.
