Assistant Chief T.S. Robinson says the fire is under control, but it will likely take the rest of the morning to put out the fire. He says the building has been vacant for a while and they don’t believe the warehouse had any electricity.
At this time, Robinson says it’s unsafe for crews to go inside because the roof has already caved in.
New Hanover County Fire and Leland Fire crews are also on scene to help provide manpower. EMS is also on standby.
