When firefighters arrived, the structure was fully involved. Chief Vincent Wiley said, "We found fire blowing out of the second floor windows."
Nearly 30 firefighters were called to the scene to knock the flames down and prevent the fire from spreading to another nearby landscaping business.
Wiley said, "We sent lines inside the connecting building to stop the fire from running across and into the next door building."
Residents described an unforgettable scene at the three alarm fire. The heat was so intense it melted the paint off nearby cars.
Amanda Walton said, "You could stand on the front porch and feel the heat coming off like the heat of a campfire...I've never, never seen anything like this."
