Firefighters investigating cause of vacant warehouse fire in south Charlotte

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Fire Department is investigating the cause of a vacant warehouse fire in south Charlotte early Wednesday morning.

Firefighters said it began around 1:15 a.m. on South Boulevard.

Extra crews were called in to get the flames under control, which took 47 minutes, Charlotte Fire said.

Firefighters described other issues they faced to Channel 9 reporter Eli Brand.

“They were met with a locked gate, so they did have to cut the lock on the gate to be able to gain access to the building,” Battalion Fire Chief Ryan Monteith explained.

Firefighters said at one point the fire reached two alarms, but no one was injured.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

There were no injuries reported.
