CLEVELAND, Ohio — A fire that started Tuesday at a car repair shop in the city’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood caused multiple explosions and damaged a nearby home, officials said.
The fire started about 10:30 a.m. at the shop on East 145th Street and Kinsman Avenue. No injuries have been reported.
The fire spread to a home and caused “multiple explosions,” according to fire officials. Firefighters rescued a dog from the home, Cleveland fire Lt. Mike Norman said.
One explosion was so powerful that it caused the airbags in a fire supervisor’s SUV to deploy.
The firefighters’ union, the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 93, reported in a tweet that the fire caused a partial building collapse.
More than 50 firefighters were at the scene as of about 11 a.m. and firefighters are working to extinguish the blaze.
