PARKERSBURG — A warehouse was gutted Wednesday by a fire that investigators believe may have been intentionally set. A firefighter sustained minor injuries during the incident at Bear Run Auto Wrecking, 625 Ryan St., Parkersburg, said Capt. Jason Kuhl of the Parkersburg Fire Department. The warehouse is owned by Ron Vaughan and is located off of Seventh Street behind the Dairy Queen. Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 7:30 p.m., and saw flames and heavy smoke coming from the building, Kuhl said. Half of the building’s interior was engulfed in flames, he said. It is unknown where inside the building the fire started. “We made entry and the guys knocked down the fire pretty quickly, in about a minute and a half,” he said. After the fire was out, officials called for investigators because there are no utilities in the building, Kuhl said. “If there’s nothing to start the fire accidentally, something else must have caused it,” Kuhl said.
