Centralia firefighters were joined by crews from two neighboring departments when flames broke out in a mechanic’s shop off North Tower Avenue on East Hanson Street yesterday evening.

Damage is described as moderate, but a sport utility vehicle caught fire and it spread also causing damage to a portion of the building, according to Riverside Fire Authority.

It began when the business owner was transferring gasoline out of a GMC Yukon that was in for repairs and the fuel ignited, according to Fire Capt. Terry Ternan. Nobody was hurt.

Sixteen firefighters responded to the approximately 7 p.m. call and were on scene for about two hours, according to Ternan.
