Firefighters from Stuart battled a storage unit blaze this past Thursday morning. In a social media post, officials said the fire at the M & G Storage units on the west end of Stuart, was reported at around 1-a.m.   Smoke and heavy fire were seen on arrival. The fire spread quickly due to wind and structure conditions.
