Auto shop catches fire in East-Central Fresno

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a fire in east-central Fresno Saturday afternoon.

The fire happened around 2:30 p.m. at an auto body shop at Sunnyside and Clinton Avenues. Firefighters managed to put out the fire fairly quickly but ran into a few difficulties.

Because the building was made of metal, it began to melt. Firefighters were unaware of any equipment inside the shop that could pose a safety threat, so they took precautions.

No one was injured in the blaze.
