The Billings, MT, Fire Department said the occupants of an auto repair shop on 1st Ave N. and N 33rd St. were safe after smoke started pouring into their building the night of July 24, in what the fire department suspected was a structure fire.
Battalion Chief Kevin Bentz said the fire happened shortly after 6 p.m., when a motor on top of the roof malfunctioned, sending the smoke through the air ducts.
Bentz added it was a standard response from Billings Fire: sending four fire engines and a truck to help anyone who might be inside.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.
