Six Cars Blaze at Modesto Auto Yard

0:00It's April 26. This is California News today, your AI-powered local news. Six cars went up in flames at an auto-dismantling yard in Modesto late Saturday night. Firefighters from the Modesto Fire Department got the call just after 9pm for a blaze near Golden State Highway south of the Tuolami River. It was a commercial structure fire that had the whole place lit up. Crews hit the scene fast and stretched out to 700 foot attack lines to knock down the fire on those vehicles. They also brought in multiple engines to shield and nearby trailer park from spreading embers. No one got hurt and folks in the trailer park stayed safe thanks to that quick work. The fire didn't jump to any structures, keeping the damage contained to the yard. Right now, investigators have no word on what sparked. I could be anything from wiring to something suspicious. The department's digging into it as we speak. We'll keep an eye on this one as more details drop, especially of arson's in play. Stay tuned for updates.
