A wire downed in Thursday night's storm ignited two vehicles in the depot, filled with hundreds of new vehicles, next to Metro Fuel on Hudson Avenue near H Mart, authorities said.

Firefighters found two vehicles fully involved with live wires arcing over them, blocking initial suppression efforts.

They doused nearby oil tanker trucks to prevent them from catching fire while they awaited PSE&G.

Once the power was cut off, the firefighters extinguished the flames.

No one was injured, they said.
