ST. LOUIS, MO (KMOX) - Pumpers and ladders battle a massive warehouse fire along the downtown riverfront just south of the Poplar Street bridge early Friday morning.

At its peak shortly after 4 am, the reported 5-alarm blaze could be seen for miles away, with flames shooting hundreds of feet into the sky. The warehouses are along 2nd street north of Chouteau in an area that was slated for redevelopment.
