PHOTOS: A large fire tore through the repair facility at a California Ford dealership early Thursday morning, burning up to 20 vehicles before firefighters stopped the flames from spreading, authorities said.

The fire was reported around 4:20 a.m. Thursday at the AutoNation Ford dealership on Creekside Road in Santa Clarita, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

When firefighters arrived, they found a roughly 30-by-200-foot repair building fully engulfed in flames, with 15 to 20 vehicles burning inside and around the structure.

Because flames had already burned through the roof, crews immediately switched to a defensive attack, battling the blaze from outside the building rather than sending firefighters inside.

“It was fully involved where we couldn’t make access to the building,” L.A. County Fire Battalion Chief Josh Tibbett said. “There were no firefighter injuries or civilian injuries.”
