Crews arrived to find no smoke or fire initially.

Upon investigation, fire and smoke were found in an adjacent property on the west side of the building.

It was then upgraded to a working fire in a vacant former nursing home facility.

Firefighters brought the fire under control and completed an extensive search of the building. 

Following the investigation, the cause was determined to be an electrical fire originating in the panel room.

There were no injuries reported.
