NASHUA, N.H (WHDH) - Firefighters in New Hampshire rushed to a junkyard, where officials found a pile of burning metal.

Officials say workers at the Grandmaison Junkyard were cutting scrap metal when they accidentally hit a small oxygen tank and caused an explosion.

The tank ruptured and sent flammable pieces flying into the junk pile, igniting it and starting the flames.

Crews had to use foam and an excavator to put out the fire.

No injuries were reported.
