At least 60 cars were inside a high-end automotive garage that caught fire Dec. 20, the Houston Fire Department said.
The fire started around 4 a.m. at Uptown Automotive on Mapleridge Street near Elm Street. The business services antique and classic cars, according to HFD Cpt. Sedrick Robinett.
Because of the number of cars and four 50-gallon drums of oil inside, firefighters had to stay outside the building while putting the fire out.
