Three teenagers — two 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old — are charged with starting a massive fire at an auto wrecking yard last week.

Two of the three appeared in youth court this morning and were released with a variety of conditions, including not being within 10 metres of the auto yard. The third is back in court Friday.

The April 19 fire burned for hours, consuming more than 1,000 vehicles. The fire sent plumes of thick, black smoke into the air that could be seen outside the city.

The two that appeared this morning were charged with arson, breaking and entering and breach of recognizance.

Another 14-year-old boy, believed to be responsible for starting the initial fire, has already made his first court appearance.

Two other children under the age of 12 were also found to have been involved, but can't be charged due to their ages. They were instead issued warnings.

The owner of the scrap yard estimated the fire caused $250,000 in damages.

None of the accused can be named due to their ages.
