"We are pleased to report no known injuries as a result of the fire," said Police Chief Robert Mahady and Fire Chief William Bogari Jr. in a joint statement.
"The cause and origin is being investigated and the fire is still being fought with tenacity by over a dozen fire companies," they continued. "We will update as we can."

Chris Sacripanti, an area resident who works near the site of the blaze, told Daily Voice the fire appeared contained to "the building behind Sunshine Trucking," on Adamson Street near the river.
The building, Sacripanti said, "has a propane filling company, an insulation company, and a powder coater inside."
