The FDNY battled a massive 3-alarm fire at an auto body shop in Willets Point on Monday afternoon.

The first call came at 4:17 p.m. after the fire broke out at 127-02 35th Ave., and arriving units observed heavy fire and smoke conditions. After the fire got into tires stored in the back of the shop, the FDNY signaled a second alarm as a plume of black noxious smoke could be seen for miles. It went to a third alarm, bringing 33 units and 138 firefighters and EMS personnel to the last vestige of the Iron Triangle, just east of Citi Field, bordered by Northern Boulevard.
