The Villa Park Fire Department is investigating the cause of a small fire that damaged two rooms of the Brer Rabbit Motel early Thursday evening.

Crews responded to the motel on the 700 block of North Avenue about 5:30 p.m. and were able to put the fire out quickly, fire officials said.

The fire started between two walls and damaged two rooms on either side, fire officials said.
