They broke into Focus DIY on Dudley Road, in Kingswinford, and set fire to bags of rubbish.
Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 6pm yesterday after a passer-by saw smoke coming from the roof.
Crew commander Steve Porter, from Brierley Hill fire station, said the fire had been small and that most of the team's efforts had been spent clearing smoke from the building.
The warehouse and shop unit has been empty for around three years and crew commander Porter added that it had become a target for vandals.
