Cause under investigation

Officials have not released information about what sparked the fire. No injuries were reported.

Why this matters

Multi-alarm fires draw additional crews and equipment beyond an initial dispatch. Fire investigators typically work to identify a cause and origin after flames are extinguished. A damaged dealership can affect both inventory and ongoing operations for a local business.
