The Amarillo Fire Department said a Wednesday afternoon blaze involving a large shop and a travel trailer resulted in no injuries.
Per an APD news release, at 1:29 p.m. firefighters responded to a structure fire in the 500 block of West Colorado Avenue, indicating initial reports were that two structures were involved.
Authorities said the first unit arrived at 1:33 p.m. and found a travel trailer and a large shop involved with fire, and a second alarm was requested. Per the news release, 10 AFD units responded.
