Summary
A wildfire tore through L&L Classic Auto, a family-run salvage yard since the 1960s, obliterating nearly 9,000 cars, the office, and a new tow shop. Flames choked visibility, forcing staff to flee with only their tow truck and a fuel can. Firefighters finally contained the blaze by Thursday morning after winds died down. Insurance, which only covered the building, won’t pay for the lost inventory — leaving the 90-year-old owner, Larry Harms, and his team facing a devastating financial and emotional loss. With the future of the business uncertain, the manager vows to return to work, boots on, to salvage what’s left — even as the nearby transfer station remains closed.
