More than 50 firefighters fought the blaze that was reported about 6:20 p.m. Crews were able to get the fire contained shortly after 7 p.m.

Deputy Chief Marc Woodard said one firefighter was injured as a portion of the south wall fell on him.

“He said he was OK but we wanted him to get him checked out just in case,” Woodard said. “He's been taken to St. Anthony's as a precautionary measure.”

The cause of the fire was not immediately determined, and an estimate of the damage was not available.

Woodard said the building most likely is a total loss.

He said it will be a while before crews can get inside the building to investigate because the structure is not safe.
