Plumes of black smoke covered parts of East Hialeah — and were visible for miles — after a fire broke out at a junkyard Tuesday afternoon.

Miami-Dade and Hialeah Fire responded to a large blaze shortly after 1:20 p.m. at Rastro Coco Auto Parts, a junkyard near the 5100 block of East 10th Court. The junkyard is located in an industrial area with few homes.

More than 25 Miami-Dade Fire units were on the scene as firefighters tried to contain the fire, an agency spokesperson told the Miami Herald. No injuries were reported.

One Twitter user shared a photo that showed the fire’s smoke could be seen from Miami Beach.

    OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the Canada Revenue Agency is "very, very good" at getting the money it's owed, and Saskatchewan's premier should take note of that.

  • Tesla's cheap EV plans will likely be stuck in 'Tesla time'

    Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk felt especially ambitious in the EV maker's first-quarter earnings call, weighing in on Tesla's timeline for an affordable EV and the outlook for developing its robotaxi service. Many on Wall Street are skeptical about Tesla's re-focusing on next-gen products while engaging in a price war in China through price cuts on its vehicles. Tesla missed its first-quarter earnings estimates, posting $21.3 billion in revenue and adjusted gains of $0.45 per share. Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore joins Yahoo Finance to lay out the criticisms Tesla is facing after its most recent earnings, calling investments into robotaxis "the graveyard of where automakers go to, maybe not die, but waste a lot of money." Migliore also points out how efficiently and effectively traditional automakers would be at rolling out an affordable electric vehicle in the time that it takes for Tesla to develop and release its own.
