West Point, Mississippi (WCBI) – A garage at Mitchell Automotive in West Point went up in flames on Thursday evening.

Firefighters believe a Chevy Equinox that had been worked on earlier in the day had an electrical malfunction and caught on fire.

The flames spread to a nearby gas line, which helped to engulf the entire building.

Firemen got the call about 7:45 P.M. Firemen say it took only minutes to extinguish the fire.

Dealer Operations Manager Ben Thomas says 10 vehicles were damaged. Thomas said the dealership will speak with insurance adjusters to determine a figure on the damages.

Mitchell was closed at the time of fire. The main office building was not impacted by the fire. Thomas said the quick response of West Point firefighters kept the fire from spreading.

No injuries were reported.

The fire remains under investigation.
