A quick-moving fire gutted a Euclid Avenue auto-repair shop Tuesday morning.

“Before we even got on scene, there was black smoke visible,” said Bob Harvey, battalion chief with the Helena Fire Department.

Flames shot out of the windows of Hazen Auto Repair & Custom and smoke billowed from both ends of the building at around 11:30 a.m.

Harvey said when fire crews arrived, employees were removing motors and other car parts from the building at 2296 Euclid Ave. One of the employees was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, Harvey said.
