There was a large volume of fire from the rear of the building on an open platform that houses storage for the construction company, according to fire officials.

The fire mostly stayed out of the main building and it was under control in one hour.

The only injury was a firefighter suffering from heat exhaustion, officials said.

There was no word yet on the cause. The state fire marshal's office was responding to make that determination.
