Webb City Battalion Chief Jeremy Denton tells us on scene employees were working on a vehicle inside the building bay and fire erupted. They were unable to get two vehicles out, both burned.

B.C. Denton says that no workers were injured and no firefighters.

With the temperature at 95° it actually felt like it was over 100°. METS ambulance were busy passing out water to everyone on the scene and checking on firefighters.

The building interior appears to be a total loss.
