At 2001 hours B-Shift was alerted to to a structure fire next to Casey’s on Austin. E219 with a crew of 3 responded and found a commercial garage with fire showing.
Chief Denney was on scene from noticing the fire while driving. Crews brought the fire under control in roughly 10 minutes. Quint 216 and truck 210 responded with 4 total off duty personnel.
Thank you to Compton Junction and Milo Fire for Mutual aid. The fire was a result of flying sparks from a grinder igniting flammable liquids.
