“It sucks to come to work and something like this to happen,” said Felipe Pereria, the manager of Magic City Auto. “I’d say estimated damage about $60,000.”
Miami Fire Rescue crews responded and quickly put out the flames. No injuries were reported.
“A type of incident like this can be very dangerous. It can be a lot more challenging," Sanchez said. "The fire can spread rather quickly because of the fuel, the fumes the metal and the plastic”
