Photos and videos show the building where the fire broke out, engulfed in flames.

The main building remains intact, but the building in the back was destroyed.

Several fire departments were at the scene battling the blaze.

Residents in other parts of the Island also reported seeing plumes of smoke from several kilometres away.

There’s no word on a cause yet.
