DeKalb County firefighters are investigating a suspicious fire that tore through part of a moving company in Decatur.

A storage shed at the “Two Men and a Truck” business was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived just after midnight Tuesday.

The warehouse on East Ponce de Leon Ave. was filled with household goods, everything from clothes to appliances to furniture.

Two Men and a Truck Manager Erin Whitty says that all of their paying customers furniture and belongings had escaped the flames.  The charred furniture and debris belonged to two customers who didn't pay their moving fees.  She tells Channel 2 Action News the company was in the process of liquidating their stuff.

"We have a contract they breached the contract and then we followed the next steps in our contract," said Whitty.

She believes one of the customers, whose belongings were about to go up for auction, may have been involved in setting the fire.
