While a majority of flames were knocked down by 5:20 p.m., firefighters were still inside doing a secondary search of the building to check for victims, Peters added. 

“There are a couple of people unaccounted for, so they’re checking the building to make sure there’s no victims inside,” Peters said.  

Firefighters had cleared the scene with no victims found by 5:45 p.m., Peters added.
