A fire has destroyed a west Little Rock building that housed a pregnancy resource center and two other tenants, officials said.

No one was injured. The cause of the blaze, flames of which at one point appeared 30 or more feet tall, was not yet clear.

The fire was reported around 6:45 p.m. at 3 Office Park Drive, which is just west of Interstates 630 and 430. A thick cloud of black smoke was visible from miles away as firefighters set up outside the structure and sprayed it with water from ladder trucks.
