The incident happened along Industrial Drive near Blue Heron Boulevard around 11 p.m. 

 

A power line landed on top of a lot of cars at the West Palm Beach Nissan, setting them on fire. 

Florida Power and Light was also called to the scene to shut down the entire grid for the area so fire crews could get in and put the fire out.

By Monday morning, the fire was out.
