Reporter the flames from the fire were visible from far away, as far away as highway 4 in pittsburg. They did get help from the pittsburg fire crews and they could see the glowing from that far away.

Even though the embers spread pretty far around the fire it did not spread to cause other problems. Now that the sun has come up and looking at daylight you can still see the fire crews are putting out the hotspots and still dousing the building with water using the ladder truck. Once they figure out how stable the building is they will send investigators into the building to figure out where that fire started and how it started but that is all still under investigation.
