PHOENIX — A large fire broke out Wednesday morning at an automotive shop in north Phoenix.
The blaze started after 8 a.m. near Cave Creek and Bell roads.
Video from the scene showed a large plume of smoke visible from miles away. The fire had torn through several parts of the roof of the building, which is operated by AZ Master Mechanics, a NAPA AutoCare Center.
Fire officials say they had to fight the blaze from the exterior due to hazardous materials inside and possibly dangerous conditions inside.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
No injuries were reported and everyone was able to evacuate the building safely.
A portion of Cave Creek Road was shut down due to the investigation but has since reopened.
