A blaze erupted last night at My #1 Mechanic, an auto body shop located in the heart of Bridgeville. As reported by WPXI, witnesses and Allegheny County dispatch confirmed that local firefighters were summoned to the 600 block of Baldwin Street around 8:15 p.m. to address the unfolding disaster.

According to eyewitness Dana Achille, the incident was dramatic, "The building was up in flames from the inside," Achille described the event's magnitude in a statement obtained by WPXI, "I’ve never seen anything like this," furthermore, footage of the incident showcased smoke pouring out of the structure, prompting concerns among the local populace over the blaze's potential spread and the damage inflicted, an antique car was amongst the casualties.
