At least 17 Fire Department vehicles and 100 firefighters descended on the area after receiving 911 calls at 9:09 a.m. Teams went floor by floor through the six-story building on the 700 block of Pike Street. SFD posted on X that no one was injured. The fire is under control, and crews are now working to ventilate the smoke.
