>> WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THE SEMINOLE FIRE CHIEF SAYS IT TOOK 3 DIFFERENT FIRE CREWS HOURS TO CONTAIN THE BLAZE. >> ABOUT 11, 20 YESTERDAY, WE GOT A NOW ONE CALL STATING THAT EMBERS FROM A CONTROLLED BAR BLUE INTO A BUILDING. AND THE BUILDING WAS ON FIRE. THE CALL TOOK SEMINOLE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO A BUILDING ALONG HIGHWAY 2.70, JUST EAST OF SEMINOLE. >> FIRST UNITS ARRIVED ON SCENE AND NOTICED HEAVY SMOKE COMING FROM. >> ABOUT 75% OF THE BUILDING. HEAVY FLAMES AND LARGE BLACK PLUMES OF SMOKE COULD BE SEEN COMING FROM THE BUILDING. >> WE'RE OUT HERE ABOUT 5 HOURS AND WE'RE JUST STAYED OUT HERE HITTING HOT SPOTS TODAY. I MEAN, IT'S STILL SMOKE AND THEY'RE STILL AMBER STILL INSIDE. BUT THERE'S NO DANGER TO ANYTHING. >> OFFICIALS TELL NEWS 4 THE BUILDING FILLED MORE THAN 100,000 SQUARE FEET. CREWS FROM GO LEGS AND WE WILL CUT FIRE DEPARTMENTS ALSO SHOWED UP TO HELP FIGHT THE FLAMES CALLED FOR ME FOR WATER TANKERS FROM TO SURROUNDING DEPARTMENTS.

THANKFULLY AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE, THE ONLY ITEMS BEING STORED HERE WHERE PLASTIC BOTTLES. >> THE BUILDING STILL STANDING THE CONTENTS INSIDE THE TOTAL OFF. >> SEMINOLE FIRE CHIEF SAYS IN HIS YEARS ON THE JOB, HE'S NEVER FOUGHT A FIRE LIKE THIS ONE. >> WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW LARGE FIRES INSIDE LIKE IT FROM DOWNTOWN FIRES, BUT NOTHING.
