Crews Battle Commercial Fire At Vacant Downtown Oklahoma City Building

Fire crews in Oklahoma City said no injuries were reported from a fire at a vacant downtown building Sunday afternoon.

The OKC fire department was seen fighting the fire near NW 4th St. and Shartel Ave. around 4:30 p.m.

Firefighters had to tear wood boards off the barricaded windows to search the inside of the building.

Authorities say a suspect experiencing homelessness was inside the building when the fire started a suspect saw someone running from the scene.

That suspect has not been located.

Fire crews used a drone to get an aerial view of the flames and portable fans to ventilate smoke from the large interior.

Oklahoma City Police worked traffic control and OKCFD said the flames were quickly put out.

The exact cause of the fire is unknown.
