A fire broke out this morning (Monday) in an abandoned automobile dealership near the Spring Hill Metro station in Tysons.
Units with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department were dispatched to 8546 Leesburg Pike at 10:45 a.m. for a commercial building fire, according to scanner traffic on OpenMHz.
Firefighters on the scene reported smoke from the roof of the building, which was once a Bentley and Aston Martin dealership.
Scanner traffic suggests that firefighters needed to break through a chain link fence around the property to get to the building. The fire was located in a bathroom.
The FCFRD reported around 11:30 a.m. that the fire had been extinguished, and no injuries were reported. Units are still on the scene to ventilate smoke from the building.
