Officials say that “a labor intensive effort was required to expose and extinguish” all fire on the second floor and attic after flames continued to spread.
One firefighter was treated and taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.
The fire was declared under control before 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, though crews remained at the scene to battle any hotspots or flare-ups.
