Firefighters were dispatched to a large structure fire at DG’s Night Club in Dallas early Friday morning. Officials say when firefighters arrived, heavy smoke was coming from the building.

Crews tried to fight the fire from inside, but they quickly found that the fire was hidden within a number of void spaces, and was already in its advanced stages.

Because of this, a second alarm was transmitted, and the fire was being fought defensively.

Dallas Fire-Rescue personnel used a combination of ground lines and two aerial ladder pipes in an effort to surround and drown out the fire.

The building was empty when the fire was reported, and there have been no reported injuries. The cause of the fire has not been reported, and the extent of the damage to the building is not yet known.
