The fire at a ten-story building being refurbished on The Strand sent smoke billowing throughout the area.
Officials said Tuesday no injuries have been reported. The building was evacuated.
Residents in the area are being advised to shut their windows to keep smoke out of their apartments.
The cause of the fire has not been determined.
