The fire tore through Chuck's Auto Body Shop in Liberty Addition near Reynoldsville around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
As the walls collapsed, explosions caused fire crews to close off the surrounding area. Exposed power lines were also a major concern.
More than half a dozen fire companies responded to the scene, including crews from Anmoore, Stonewood, Lost Creek, Nutter Fort and Summit Park. Harrison County EMS was also on scene.
Reynoldsville Fire Chief Kim McNemer, Jr., said new two-way radios eased communication between the departments.
A portion of nearby trailer also caught fire. No one was injured.
There's no word on what caused the blaze. The state fire marshall is investigating.
