Fire crews were attacking the blaze, and as of about 5 p.m. no buildings had caught flame. Traffic will be blocked on “several streets” in the area, the department said.
Further information was not immediately available.
A fire on level three of the airport’s Terminal 3 parking garage damaged seven vehicles Saturday morning. No injures were reported, the department said.
