Fire investigators say a blaze at a car dealership in Prince Frederick, Maryland did $3 million worth of damage.
In addition to the main showroom at Bayside Automotive, five vehicles belonging to the dealership and to customers sustained damage.
Deputy State Fire Marshal Joseph Zurolo says the fire started around 5:45 a.m. Saturday inside the parts room of the 80-by-115-foot building. It took about an hour to bring the blaze under control. The cause remains under investigation.
The dealership sells Toyotas and Chevrolets.
