CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Division of Fire responded Tuesday morning near East 145th Street and Kinsman Road after a structure fire and explosion at an auto repair shop.
Motorists should avoid the area.
Firefighters said the situation started in the repair shop and flames spread to a nearby home. Crews called in a second alarm around 10:30 a.m.
Viewer video obtained by News 5 shows a massive plume of smoke and flames billowing from the remains of a building next door to Save-a-Lot on Kinsman Road.
Firefighters later rescued a dog from the neighboring home. The home was heavily damaged, but crews made progress knocking down the fire.
