The fire at Hilke’s Ice Company was reported around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday and was still ongoing at 6 a.m.
Fire crews found flames and smoke coming through the roof along the structure’s south side, according to the release.
Responders requested a tanker task force and strike team, which led more than 15 fire departments to respond.
A tanker task force is a mutual aid request in which many fire districts provide tankers to help shuttle water to large-scale incidents.
