By 8:44 a.m., DFR told CBS 11 that the fire has been mostly contained and the building was completely destroyed.
According to DFR, the location was an old, abandoned aviation manufacturing plant that was undergoing demolition.
There was reportedly at least one previous fire that took place in April this year. It was believed to have started as the result of homeless individuals accessing the building and lighting fires inside of it.
DFR says since there are no witnesses to speak of from this morning, the cause will be listed as undetermined.
No injuries have been reported. DFR will remain on the scene Tuesday for overhaul operations.
