Hialeah Fire Rescue and Miami Fire Rescue responded to the scene of the blaze behind a tire store at 3801 N.W. 36th St., underneath the State Road 112 exit to Le Jeune Road. Officials said trash, tires and trees burst into flames, sending a thick cloud of dark smoke billowing out onto the roadway and causing traffic delays near Miami International Airport.
