Thick smoke could be seen for miles after an abandoned warehouse near the Dallas and Grand Prairie border caught fire Tuesday morning.

Investigators are trying to figure out what sparked a large fire at an abandoned warehouse in Dallas Tuesday morning.

The fire was so intense that the firefighters had to take a defensive approach. The flames severely damaged the building, causing the roof to collapse.

The former aviation manufacturing plant warehouse was reportedly in the process of being demolished.

It caught fire earlier year. Investigators said that fire was due to homeless accessing the building and lighting fires inside.
