Wheeling firefighters battled a large fire in an unoccupied property on Wheeling Island early Wednesday evening.
Around 6:35 p.m., firefighters were called to Zane Street after calls were made to the 9-1-1 center for reported heavy smoke in the area, Wheeling Fire Department said in a press release.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they saw fire and heavy smoke from an apparent unoccupied structure.
Firefighters battled the fire from the exterior throughout the evening due to the building being unstable and unsafe for firefighters to enter the structure.
Crews were able to bring the fire under control in about two hours. No firefighters were injured.
Fire investigators will work to determine a cause of the fire, which would take several days.
