Akron firefighters responded to a vacant warehouse that was fully engulfed in flames early Monday morning.

Firefighters responded at about 4 a.m. Monday to the 1400 block of East Archwood Avenue. Akron Fire Lt. SIerjie Lash said the building appeared to be at a vacant salvage yard with tires stored inside.

In video captured by Beacon Journal partner News 5 Cleveland, the building appears to have collapsed onto itself.

Lash said the fire was knocked down but there was still smoke coming from the building at 7:30 a.m., so a firetruck was being kept at the scene. Roads near the fire were closed as firefighters battled the blaze, but later reopened, Lash said.
