When firefighters arrived the fire had already done quite a bit of damage. The two-story building was evacuated and fire crews pours on tons of water to get the flames under control. No injuries were reported but the building is heavily damaged.

Investigators believe the fire started on a second-floor balcony and the flames were pushed inside the unit by yesterday's fierce winds.

The wind continued to fan the flames and soon they were jetting through the roof which appears to be destroyed, at least on that side of the building.
