They encountered smoke and flames coming from the building and were able to get the fire under control by 1:21 a.m.

Firefighters searched the building and no occupants were found.

A search inside the building was completed and no occupants were found.

No injuries were reported in either fire. Both fires are under investigation. Damage estimates are not available.
