When firefighters arrived, the car was engulfed. The fire had spread to a corner of the building.

The car was towed and firefighters cleared the scene. About an hour later, the fire reignited in a wall.

"Not only with the hazardous materials in the car, explosiveness of the gas and oils and those things but just having the whole building there is not exactly an ideal situation."

The vehicle was an employee's.
