We do not have many details at this time as crews are actively working to get the fire under control and manageable. Motorists are advised to avoid the area while the fire departments work to put out the fire. One resident said they noticed decreased water pressure and heard sirens as he looked out the window and saw the smoke billowing from around the corner.
