Firefighters were called to a mechanic shop Wednesday after the property owner spotted a blaze but was unable to stop the flames from spreading. The call for help came at 5:26 p.m. from Carr Auto and Truck Repair, 1824 Charles St. Racine Fire Capt. Mark Villalpando said the man was checking out a motion alarm that was activated when he discovered the fire in the shop owned by Brad Carr. "He noticed flames along a wall of the car repair shop. He attempted to put out the fire using multiple fire extinguishers. He then called 911 because the fire kept growing," Villalpando said.
