A large fire caused extensive damage to a Pulaski County Masonic Lodge on Monday.

Multiple fire departments including Little Rock, East End, Arch Street and Quail Creek fought the blaze at the Iron Springs Masonic Lodge, located at 18205 Arch Street Pike.

Pulaski County sheriff's office spokesman Lt. Carl Minden said crews were dispatched to the fire shortly before 11 a.m. Smoke could still be seen rising from the visibly caved-in roof at 1:30 p.m. as firefighters appeared to be cleaning up.

The building was unoccupied when fire crews arrived and no injuries were reported, Little Rock Fire Department spokesman Capt. Randy Hickmon said.

The building sustained approximately $70,000 in damage, according to Minden. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
