US EditionJacksonville Officials Dispel Rumor that Garage Fire at Airport Was Started by a Tesla
- On Friday, near midday, a vehicle caught fire on the second level of the hourly parking structure at Jacksonville International Airport.
- The fire engulfed around 50 additional cars and resulted in the collapse of portions of two levels, prompting officials to shut down the hourly parking garage indefinitely due to damage to its structure.
- The Jacksonville Aviation Authority instructed travelers with cars trapped in the hourly garage to fill out a form on the airport website for updates and vehicle retrieval plans.
- By Saturday morning, all on-site parking options, including the daily garage and surface lot, had reached full capacity, prompting the airport to recommend that travelers either use off-site parking facilities or be dropped off directly at the terminal entrance.
- Officials established a collapse zone restricting access to authorized personnel as crews work to clear safe zones in the garage for vehicle removal later this week.
