No injuries have been reported but two firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion. EMSA crews are on the scene if needed.

Firefighters were able to get back into the building after the flames were contained.
Firefighters said the cause is unknown but said there was a significant fire in the attic.
They said they don't know if the building is a total loss but said there is significant damage to the building and the roof.
