Amarillo, TX – Sprinkler system keeps vehicle fire from spreading at wrecker service business

July 20, 2016 viking210

A wrecked car inside a storage facility was destroyed by fire at T-Miller Wrecker Service in Amarillo on Saturday morning.  Amarillo Fire Department responded to 1201 S. Johnson St. at 2:07 a.m. and found a light haze surrounding the large single-story metal storage building.

Fire crews entered and found a single car in the building on fire. The sprinkler system kept the fire from spreading to dozens of other vehicles, fire officials said. The fire was under control by 2:38 p.m.

A representative from the wrecker service said the vehicle that caught fire was involved in a wreck earlier and was the last one brought inside before the business closed at 6 p.m. Friday.

No injuries were reported. Fire damage was contained to the car. Minor heat damage was sustained to the ceiling above.
