Almost 12 hours later, fire crews were continuing to put water on the four-story building Monday morning.
Officials say the fire broke out on the lower floors, but quickly spread to the upper floors, and eventually through the roof. The fire’s climb has caused concerns about a potential collapse.
One firefighter suffered burns to his hands and arm, but he is expected to be okay. No other injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
