PHOENIX — Firefighters say a large fire destroyed an auto shop near 35th Avenue and Union Hills Drive Thursday afternoon.

The Phoenix Fire Department says the fire started in a bay of the auto shop, with several cars inside. The fire quickly spread and firefighters took a defensive stance on the fire, evacuating the building.
At least 50 firefighters from multiple departments battled the blaze.
The intersection of 35th Avenue and Union Hills Drive was temporarily closed but has since reopened.
