Firefighters had water on the flames about 8 minutes after the first dispatch, according to Solomon, and was contained to the workshop wall inside the building and in the ceiling. The fire also caused extensive damage to the electrical wiring. The owner of the car repair shop had some respiratory problems treated at the scene, but no other injuries were reported. “If you have a fire, get out, and stay out,” Solomon said, reminding people that “you’re not only risking your life, but also impeding the effort to fight the fire by distracting firefighters.” (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTOS)
