VIDEO: Emergency crews responded to a massive fire south of eastern Wake County on Tuesday afternoon. Sky 5 captured footage of thick smoke billowing from a scrap yard on South Selma Road in Wendell, as more than 40 firefighters worked to contain the fire. The large fire, which involved several cars and construction materials, is now under control with no injuries reported, according to John Underhill, battalion chief of the Wendell Fire Department. "We had several fuel fires spreading from vehicle to vehicle, as the vehicles were tightly packed together," Underhill said. "We worked to separate them." WRAL News witnessed employees from RG Communications Inc. arriving at the scene.
