MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Investigators are trying to figure out how a fire started overnight at a southeast Memphis salvage yard.

The fire reportedly started around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday on Hungerford Road near Shelby Drive.

When firefighters arrived, they were forced to use aerial trucks to fight the blaze as the gate was blocked by a burning car.

In the end a warehouse was damaged along with several vehicles on the lot.

Officials said they believe the fire was intentionally set.
