Junkyard catches fire; arson suspected

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A Broward County junkyard went up in flames early Monday morning, and fire investigators think the fire may have been intentional.

The business, located near Northwest Sixth Street and 12th Avenue in Pompano Beach, somehow caught fire.

In the light of day, investigators said they suspect arson, as two sheds housing carnival equipment were damaged.

A viewer sent in video of the heavy smoke and flames filling the sky.

Firefighters arrived on the scene and put the blaze out, and they now must investigate what ignited it.

Crews had to cut a fence in order to get in because no one was at the business at the time of the fire.
