UPDATE: A massive fire at a North Philadelphia junkyard is now under control after 120 firefighters fought the flames Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters said they had to be careful about a gasoline storage tank that was near the fire as they tried to bring it under control."In the very beginning of this fire there was a lot of smoke off-gassing to the east of the area and it was a lot of smoke in the area," Philadelphia Fire Assistant Chief Charles Walker said.
While the Health Department will continue to monitor the area, firefighters said there is no current threat to the public in the surrounding area. They continue to investigate the cause.
