HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Hillsborough County Fire Rescue (HCFR) said two cars caught fire in an industrial area, and burning fuel was seen going towards and into a storm drain.
The fire was in an industrial area of Highway 301 and South US 60 in the Brandon area.
Fire rescue crews were called to the area around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. HCFR said when they arrived, they saw two cars fully engulfed in flames with burning fuel going into a storm drain.
