When they arrived, they found smoke coming from the roof of a three-story office building that is currently under construction.
Using a ladder truck, firefighters were able to determine the fire was coming from debris, such as roofing material, pallets, and wood.
The fire was eventually put out, preventing it from spreading any further than the roof.
There have been no injuries reported. The exact cause of the fire is under investigation.
