The blaze in the 700 block of South Ninth Avenue was reported about 10:20 a.m., said county fire Inspector Tony Akins. The building may have been used to house a food-packing business.
Fire crews fought the fire from outside the building as flames chewed through the roof, part of which later collapsed.
