A massive fire in a Texas Walmart was caught on camera by a local shopper.

On Wednesday evening, shoppers were forced to evacuate a Walmart in Cedar Woods, Texas, after two fires — with flames reaching the ceilings — were set in the store, a local news outlet reported.

"Oh my God, why is there a big-a-- fire inside of Walmart right now?" Jackie Sinclair says in a video she posted on Facebook of the fire.

"This b---- about to blow up," Sinclair says.

The local fire marshal told the news outlet that someone deliberately set two fires in the Walmart and that a suspect, who is not an employee, had been interviewed.

No one was injured, he said.
