Electrical fires this morning caused minor damage to two buildings at Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing, police said in a news release.

Firefighters found the fire originated in building Q at the electrical panel. But a power surge then ignited the electrical panel in the adjacent building.

Minor fire damage was reported in both buildings and the cause of the fire is under investigation Fire Inspector Frank Primavera. The cause does not appear to be suspicious.
