Firefighters have contained a fire this afternoon at an apartment complex at 785 Roble Ave. in Menlo Park.

A witness told an Almanac reporter that a man was seen setting a car on fire in a garage at the complex and then fleeing from the scene. Police are searching for the man.

The car was a red Honda Accord, the witness said. The fire resulted in damage to the garage and there was some smoke damage to the outside of the attached apartment building, a reporter on the scene said.

The fire appears to be under control. Units from the Menlo Park Fire Protection District responded to the fire.
