Firefighters said that due to the building being unsafe, they are only working on the outside and focusing on containing the fire. However, shortly after crews arrived, they said a grassfire had started as well.
While crews were unable to search the building for anyone inside, they said no one has been reported hurt at this time.
Crews are also prepared for the building to collapse and are keeping their distance as a result, they said.
Naito Parkway will likely be closed into Sunday night, according to firefighters.
