‘Burning building from hell’: warehouse burns for hours overnight in Dearborn

Investigators are working to determine what caused a large warehouse in Dearborn to burn for several hours overnight.

The fire burned for hours. Nearly nothing is left standing. 

"It was just a burning building from hell," one neighbor told us. He did not wish to be identified. "Flames gulfing up, smoke, people coughing in the street."

We're told the warehouse kept a number of items that were supplied to nearby gas stations, such as pallets of water and candy. People nearby saw pieces of candy floating in water down the road throughout the day.

ATF was called to the scene to investigate. The cause is still undetermined. 

No injuries were reported.
