Fire crews responded Monday morning to a blaze that began in a vehicle and spread to a nearby commercial building in southwest Oklahoma City. The incident occurred at a business location, though officials have not yet released the name of the company involved.

According to the Oklahoma City Fire Department, the fire started in a car parked close to the structure. Flames quickly jumped from the vehicle to the building's exterior, causing visible damage before firefighters arrived on the scene. Crews worked to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further into the building.

No injuries were reported in the incident. The fire was brought under control within a short period, and investigators are now working to determine what caused the car to catch fire. The extent of the damage to both the vehicle and the building is still being assessed.

The business was not open at the time of the fire, which likely helped avoid any harm to employees or customers. Authorities have not said whether the building will need to close for repairs. More details are expected as the investigation continues.
