BROOKLINE, Mo. (KY3) - Several fire departments around the Ozarks responded to a fire at an auto shop early Sunday morning.
According to the Brookline Fire Protection District, fire crews were sent to a commercial fire at 2 a.m. Saturday at Buddy’s U Pull Used Auto Parts. The fire was inside the tire processing plant at Buddy’s. The fire department says several tires outside the plant burned too.
The Brookline Fire chief tells KY3 there were no injuries with the fire. Several firefighters from departments in the area assisted in putting out the fire. Crews contained the fire and left the scene after daylight.
Fire crews were met with several hazards that made working the fire a little more dangerous than others.
James Kilburn, Brookline Fire Protection District’s Fire Chief, said the tires around the shop made the fire burn much longer and the things inside made it much more dangerous for the crews.
“A lot of auto shops and commercial buildings, we run into just unknown, unforeseen circumstances,” said Chief Kilburn. “Oils, petroleum products, car batteries, tires, all those kinds of things.”
Chief Kilburn said all that is a big reason why it took them and seven other departments to control the fire.
“Took some manpower just because of the logistics of it. They’re just getting into the structure and having secondary exits,” said Chief Kilburn.
Chief Kilburn said the structure is still standing and may look fine from the outside, but the real damage can’t be seen from the street.
“Fortunately, our crews were able to make a quick attack on the interior of the shop area and get that area put out pretty fast,” said Chief Kilburn. “The interior of it has substantial damage.”
