Investigators are looking into the cause of an overnight fire at a Sacramento auto repair yard that left one person dead. The fire broke out early Sunday morning in the 7900 block of 18th Avenue, according to the Sacramento Fire Department. One person died in the fire, authorities said. A search for a second victim was called off later in the afternoon. Crews were initially searching for a second person because a neighbor had reportedly seen a woman in the area before the fire started. Valencia’s Upholstery, which does upholstery repair on automobiles and furniture, was destroyed in the fire. Eight vehicles also burned, authorities said.

Roughly 80 firefighters responded Sunday afternoon to a fire at a dump in Sacramento, authorities said. A large bin with mattresses and carpets inside caught fire at the Florin Perkins Public Disposal Site in the 4200 block of Florin Perkins Road, according to the Sacramento Fire Department. Around 5:30 p.m., officials said the fire had been contained, but that they were still working to quash the blaze. "This will be a long incident with companies committed to fully extinguish this fire that has dumpster, tractor trailers, and an outbuilding involved," the Sacramento Fire Department tweeted.
