LINCOLN–(KFOR Oct. 10)–A two-alarm fire inside Prestige Auto Sales off of NW 10th and West Cornhusker around 8:30am Thursday was apparently caused when someone using a sawzall accidentally hit a fuel line of a vehicle and a spark caused the fire, which quickly spread.

LFR Spokesperson MJ Lierman told KFOR News at the scene crews had some issues in knocking down the spread of the fire initially, especially from the roof. Unique wall space was the main concern in getting access to the roof.

No one was hurt and employees were able to escape. The exact damage estimates are still under investigation.
