HOUSTON (CBS Houston) A three-alarm fire damaged a north Harris County warehouse, igniting explosions inside the building in the early morning hours of Friday.

The fire began around 2 a.m. at the building on Yarberry Street and Hodgkins Street. According to fire investigators, the metal building was home to several auto repair shops and dozens of cars. As a result of the fire, several cars were heavily damaged or destroyed.

At least 70 to 80 firefighters helped to put out the flames.
