More Than 30 Cars Scorched In Overnight Fire At Auto Auction Lot

More than thirty vehicles were burned in a massive overnight fire.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue says crews responded to the Insurance Auto Auctions lot off the Beeline Highway in the northern portion of the county and very close to an Amazon fulfillment center.

It took firefighters about 45 minutes to contain and control the blaze.

The lot stores damaged vehicles that are sold at auction. Officials say the fire started from a "compromised car battery," stressing that it was a standard batter and not one from an electric vehicle.

There were no injuries and no structures were damaged.
