(WSVN) &#8211; A Pompano Beach warehouse was left badly burned after<a href=\"https:\/\/wsvn.com\/news\/local\/broward\/fire-crews-battle-massive-warehouse-blaze-in-pompano-beach-neighborhood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> a fire raced through on Saturday night<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blaze tore through the warehouse, leaving the interior and inventory charred. Most of the bays were seen boarded up on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rob Weihs, Battalion Chief of Pompano Beach Fire Rescue, told 7News anything inside became a complete loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMajor damage. Pretty much a total loss, anything that was inside,\u201d said Weihs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business owners searched through the damage caused by the blaze on Sunday, trying to pick up any salvageable pieces, while boarding up their doors and cleaning up. They spoke with 7News about the destruction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll my stuff is gone,\u201d said Tim Williams. \u201cThe stuff that\u2019s on the outside, me and my cousin are going to clean it up cause he do hauling. And the stuff we can salvage, we\u2019ll salvage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Williams, he estimates his losses are in the thousands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI mean, I got to start over again, but you know you just got to take it in stride and take losses,\u201d said Williams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire in the warehouse broke out just after 5 p.m. on Saturday off Northwest 15th Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m worried. I\u2019ve got a lot of stuff back there,\u201d said Charles Philome, who works in the warehouse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe saw the black cloud. We saw the smoke. Everyone\u2019s running out, \u2018what happened, what happened\u2019,\u201d said bystander Lucian Jean-Marie. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the midst of all the smoke, firefighters climbed up on a ladder to hose down the fire from above the warehouse, with a fire engine assisting from the ground. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHeavy fire load. Multiple bays we had to get in. It was hard to get inside to see the fire in the building. So the challenges were to find the fire load, locate it, and get to it,\u201d said Weihs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blaze lasted hours before firefighters finally extinguished it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday afternoon, the City of Pompano Beach placed a notice outside of the warehouse deeming it an unsafe structure.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
