TULSA, Okla. (AP) – Two people suffered minor injuries after a large fire broke out at a commercial building in downtown Tulsa.

Firefighters say the blaze erupted at the 20,000-square-foot structure at about 7 a.m. Saturday northeast of downtown. Images from television showed thick smoke billowing high into the sky.

Two people were rescued from the collapsing building and suffered minor injuries. One was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Firefighters don’t know what caused the blaze, and crews were still knocking down hot spots more than an hour later.
