TAMPA, Fla. — An explosion caused a fire to break out at three adjoining auto body shops in Tampa Wednesday night.
The Hillsborough County Fire Rescue said they received a 911 call about the shops at 7203 Causeway Boulevard around 8:45 p.m.
The caller reported hearing the explosion, followed by smoke coming from the property. Officials said firefighters brought the fire under control in just over 20 minutes.
No one was injured during the incident. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation.
Back-to-back storm events brought record storm surge, rainfall and winds to the Tampa Bay region. The question some are asking now isn’t where people should rebuild, but where we should let nature regain control.
