Massive fire breaks out at multistory building in Walnut Hills
Fire crews are working to put out flames after a fire broke out at a vacant building in Walnut Hills Sunday.
The fire started around 2 a.m. when crews were called to a one-alarm fire at the building on May and Oak streets.
The fire so massive at times -- drivers on I-71 could it from the highway.
The building that has been around since the early 1900s has been vacant for years.
District Chief Lou Arnold said 45 firefighters and 3 ladder trucks came out to put out the flames. He said since it's an old building, they had to attack the fire in a unique way.
"We shut down all the lines to let it burn through the roof because we had limited access. We only had access to the front of the building. The other three sides were not available to us," Arnold said
No one was injured in the fire.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
