LITTLE ROCK — A large fire collapsed the roof of a Pulaski County storage building, destroying the structure and causing minor explosions inside.
Crews with the Oak Grove Fire Department found large flames shooting from 7706 Forest Road when they arrived shortly after 6:30 a.m. No injuries were reported.
Multiple cars, tractors, tools and batteries were housed in the building, which sits across a driveway from a home. Some propane tanks exploded inside before crews arrived, said Fire Chief Randy Pogue.
"When you get a large shop like this, you really don't know what's inside it, it's hard to tell," Pogue said of the response. "... You never know what you're walking into."
The residents were not home when the blaze started and there were no preliminary indications of what caused the fire, Pogue said.
"Not a clue right now," he said. "And it will be hard to tell as bad as the building is damaged. It's completely, a 100 percent loss."
