Firefighters from the Livingston Fire and Rescue and Park County Rural Fire District #1 walk out of Mobile Repair and Welding Monday afternoon on East Park Street in Livingston. Fire crews battled thick, noxious, black smoke from a fire at the business. Jim Nardella, the owner of the shop, said everyone had gone to lunch when he got a call that his shop was on fire. He said he wasn’t sure what exactly caused the fire, but with welding and grinding work going on there are always plenty of sparks. Nardella said firefighters had to cut a hole in the door because it wouldn’t go up the whole way. The shop was insured.
