ORLANDO --

A fire south of downtown Orlando tied up traffic Saturday night.

It happened at an auto body shop near the intersection of South Orange Blossom Trail and Grand Street.

Crews from both Orlando and Orange County Fire Rescue were on the scene and said flames were shooting through the roof when they arrived.

The business was listed as Global Auto Inc.

Fire officials told News 13 no one was inside the building during the blaze.

A portion of OBT was closed because the fire hydrants were on the opposite side of road.
