LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas Fire and Rescue crews battled a fire at a vacant building just east of Las Vegas Boulevard early Thursday morning.

Crews closed Paradise Road between St. Louis and Sahara avenues as they worked to extinguish the flames at about 6:20 a.m. at a building located at 2127 Paradise Road.

No injuries were reported in the blaze but smoke could be seen rising from the scene as firefighters said they arrived to heavy smoke and flames.

The LVFR said the building had previous fires and the section of the roof collapsed upon crews working the new flames.

Thursday's incident remains under investigation but the building appears to be a total loss, according to fire officials.
