A massive fire at a warehouse in Mountain Creek prompted the response of dozens of firefighters Tuesday morning, according to Dallas Fire Rescue.

Firefighters were called about 5:30 a.m. to the 9300 block of West Jefferson Boulevard, near the Grand Prairie city limits. They found a blaze in the “center of a large abandoned warehouse,” fire-rescue spokesman Jason Evans said. Firefighters immediately formed defensive positions due to the size of the fire.

Pictures shared with The Dallas Morning News show flames and a large column of smoke billowing into the pre-dawn sky. Evans described the warehouse as an old aviation manufacturing plant undergoing demolition.

About 70 firefighters were responding to the fire, Evans said about 7 a.m. The fire caused a portion of the warehouse’s roof to collapse. No injuries were immediately reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
