According to Smithville Fire Chief Charlie Parker, the fire appeared to have started from the back part of the shop area and spread quickly to the office and to an old semi-trailer which had been converted to storage space. “The fire already had a good start by the time we arrived and the building couldn’t be saved,” said Chief Parker.
The business was closed at the time and no one was there. There were no injuries and no vehicles on the car lot were damaged.
