Miami (FL) – A suspicious fire that swept through a classic car shop in northwest Miami-Dade Thursday caused about $1 million in damages, officials said.
The fire broke out shortly before 4 a.m. at Ted Vernon Specialty Autos at 8301 Northwest 7th Avenue, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said.
When firefighters responded, they saw heavy smoke and flames and found several cars on fire as well as part of a warehouse and mechanical garage, Battalion Chief Ray Jadallah said. Firefighters were able to quickly get the fire under control. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire was unknown but Jadallah said it was suspicious.
Co-owner Robin Vernon said she had no doubt it was arson, and believes it was a disgruntled former employee who was fired after it was discovered he provided false identification.
