More than 100 firefighters were called in to battle a massive junkyard fire in Opa-locka. The fire started around 2 a.m. at 3391 NW 127th Street. More than 100 cars were in the lot, which made for a dangerous situation for firefighters who had to contend with gas explosions among other things. The sound of exploding gasoline tanks were heard as fire consumed the vehicles sprawled around the lot. “We had over fifteen units dispatched. Our first unit arrival determined that because of the magnitude of the fire, they called it a second alarm fire which called even more units out,” explained Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Lt. Kirsten Miller.
