An auto parts store burst into flames yesterday afternoon, spewing thick black smoke that could be seen from miles away.

About 100 firefighters responded to the blaze at Apex Used Auto Parts in the Bronx. The building, in an industrial area near railroad tracks, was enveloped in flames. The smoke could be seen from New Jersey.

Amtrak said one train, from Washington, D.C., to Boston, turned back because of the fire, but trains were running as scheduled by evening. No injuries were immediately reported.
