San Diego Fire-Rescue officials are investigating the cause of an overnight fire at a scrap metal yard in Barrio Logan.
Officials say they’re not sure what started the fire that sent thick black smoke in the air along Interstate 5 just south of downtown.
The initial call came at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday.
Once fire crews arrived, they attacked the blaze with hose on the inside and had it knocked down within 20 minutes, officials said.
The fire was confined to just the recycling yard on 32nd Street. No nearby homes or cars were damaged. No one was injured.
Even an office building just feet away came out at the end still standing.
The owners at SA Recycling will spend the day surveying the damage. The business buys and recycles scrap metal.
