There were no injuries, he said.
There was heavy fire upon arrival before 2:30 a.m. at the four-story building at 7 N. Florida Ave..
The fire was under control around 4:30 a.m., but firefighters remained on scene several hours.
It was the second fire there in less than 10 days.

At about 8:40 a.m., firefighters were called to another fire at the Atlantic Club. No information was immediately available about that blaze.
