The AutoZone is part of an L-shaped strip mall. The flames spread rapidly, shooting out of the roof around 4:45 p.m. Firefighters then changed their strategy to a defensive approach. Within minutes, the roof was engulfed in flames.

By 5:30 p.m., firefighters had made considerable progress, but some flames remained visible on the roof.
