The fire was reported around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, March 17.

Upon arrival, crews were met with fire and smoke coming from multiple windows in the 2-story vacant structure. A ladder was deployed and used to douse the fire at the front of the structure. Ladders were also deployed around all sides of the structure.
