A Jiffy Lube in San Antonio, Texas suffered extensive damage after multiple cars caught on fire, KSAT 12 reports.

The Jiffy Lube is located in San Antonio’s North Side, at “the 15700 block of Highway 281 N, near Paso del Norte.” 

The fire reportedly started “just before 1:20 p.m.” after a car “sparked and caught fire on gasoline” as two technicians were trying to start the vehicle. The fire spread to two other cars, as well as the basement, causing rubber mats to catch on fire.

Two engine tanks were required by firefighters to extinguish the flames. According to the San Antonio Fire Department, the closest fire hydrant was dry. Hazmat arrived shortly thereafter to test “water and air samples.”

The fire caused some damage, causing “doors and parts of the building to collapse.” No one was injured, though the shop will need a roof replacement before it can resume services as normal.
