At least one firefighter was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday while battling a large and raging fire that broke out at an abandoned train station in Delray Beach.
Exclusive video from WPTV Chopper 5 showed heavy flames and thick black smoke shooting from the station, located at 75 NW 18th Avenue, right near Interstate 95 and Atlantic Avenue.
According to Delray Beach Fire Rescue, crews arrived on scene around 10:15 a.m.
"When firefighters responded, they did see heavy smoke and immediately began defensive operations to fight that fire," said Dani Moschella, spokesperson for DBFR. At least one firefighter was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and the roof of the building has collapsed.
"It's unclear how the fire started or if anyone is inside the building," said Moschella, who added that breezy conditions made fighting the flames extremely difficult.
