A Jacksonville Aviation Authority police report obtained by Times-Union news partner First Coast News details the events leading up to the parking garage fire that shut down the Jacksonville International Airport May 16. It also reveals the first car to catch fire four hours after a woman parked.

According to the report, the Aviation Authority received a dispatch call from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 12:06 p.m. regarding a vehicle on fire in the hourly garage.

The first airport officer on scene said he discovered a car had caught on fire with flames rapidly spreading to others around it. The smoke resulted in "low/no visibility" in the garage, so the officer assisted several passengers from the garage to safety.

Jacksonville Fire and Rescue personnel responded and extinguished the fire but said it had spread to and damaged about 50 other vehicles.

The airport then ceased all operations, the report states.

The report does not state whether the BMW was a gas, electric or hybrid vehicle.
