A storage shed on the property of Yanyi’s Daycare & Preschool in Alameda burned in a fire Thursday morning, a fire captain said.

Crews arrived and found the shed on fire at the rear of the property and knocked down the flames in about 10 minutes, Alameda Fire Capt. James Colburn said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, Colburn said.
