Shortly before 10:30 a.m., the fire department said crews had made progress in their efforts to put the flames out.
Firefighters on scene told WJZ three alarms were called for the fire because crews initially had an issue with water access.
No injuries were reported as a result of the fire. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
