Heavy winds fanned the flames and flying ashes caused a few dumpster and grass fires downwind of the building. Habben says 24 firefighters were called out. They still have trucks on the scene and will throughout the night to watch for any flare ups. Habben says they don’t know what caused the fire.Habben says the building has been vacant for several years, and was in the process of being demolished.
