What we know:<\/p>\n
Emergency crews were dispatched at 4:01 a.m. to Pilates Methodology, located at 2615 Routh St., after a 911 caller reported smoke billowing from the second floor of the structure.<\/p>\n
First responders arrived to find heavy smoke venting from the two-story building. Firefighters initially launched an offensive interior attack, but the flames quickly proved to be in an advanced stage. Commanders called for a second alarm at 4:28 a.m., followed by a third alarm at 4:54 a.m. to bring in additional manpower.<\/p>\n
As the fire intensified, flames breached the roof of the structure. Firefighters shifted tactics to contain the blaze while simultaneously providing exposure protection to a neighboring home, successfully preventing it from sustaining damage.<\/p>\n
The fire was declared under control and extinguished at 5:59 a.m.<\/p>\n
On-scene personnel noted that the business appeared to be undergoing renovations at the time, though investigators have not yet determined if the construction work contributed to the blaze.<\/p>\n
The building was severely damaged, but officials confirmed the structure was unoccupied when the fire broke out. No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported.<\/p>\n
The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
