The Clark County fire department responded to the fire around 2:30 a.m. Reports say that parts of the building were collapsing, and flames were visible from the road. The wind was blowing smoke into nearby homes.
The nearest fire hydrant was nearly a half mile away, which made it difficult to fight the flames.
Firefighters partially contained the flames around 5 a.m.
