A massive fire broke out at an auto salvage business on the 2000 block of Bay Road on July 14, 2024, at approximately 7:00 PM. Firefighters were called to the scene after receiving reports of a significant blaze, which prompted the immediate dispatch of additional resources.
Upon arrival, crews were confronted with a substantial fire, which led them to request a second alarm to handle the escalating situation. Witnesses at the scene reported seeing an individual set the fire before fleeing, prompting a call for assistance from law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident.
Firefighters worked tirelessly to control the fire, which could be seen from miles away due to the large plumes of smoke. The area surrounding the salvage yard is expected to remain closed for several hours as firefighters continue their efforts and conduct a thorough assessment of the damage.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire and are seeking any additional information from the public that might assist in their inquiry.
