Firefighters are battling a massive three-alarm fire at a warehouse in the North Riverfront area of St. Louis. The fire broke out early Friday morning at a five-story warehouse located at 1230 North Second Street.
Dark smoke can be seen billowing from the building as crews work to contain the blaze. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is investigating the fire after receiving an anonymous tip that it may be suspicious. No formal criminal investigation has been opened yet.
This is the latest in a string of fires in the North Riverfront area over the last two years. The area has attracted development interest in recent years, but has also been a draw for homeless people due to its open space and vacant buildings.
