One corner of the building collapsed, she said. The single-story building was the site of previous fires, Lantz added.

It appeared the flames would not spread to nearby structures, and no injuries were reported, she said.

Traffic on Roscoe Boulevard was disrupted by the fire and firefighting equipment.
