Other Business Toledo, OH – Fire in salvage shop garage controlled with help from sprinkler system December 4, 2015 viking210 Three employees of a North Toledo automotive storage business escaped unharmed from a fire that started inside the garage they were working in, authorities said. The fire was reported about 9:30 a.m. at 911 Bush St. inside the vehicle salvage facility attached to a brick light industrial building. About nine fire trucks responded to the scene, according to the Toledo fire department. Toledo fire Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld said the employees were using a cutting torch to cut a car part from a vehicle when a fuel tank some distance away fell on the ground releasing gasoline fumes, which then ignited. The fire triggered the building’s sprinkler system. The fire was extinguished about 9:50 a.m. by firefighters. The fire was ruled accidental, Lieutenant Hertzfeld said. Damage was limited to the the building’s vehicle salvage area where it had started, according to the spokesman. A damage estimate was unavailable.
