Authorities say firefighters from Marlin and surrounding fire crews responded to the sight of smoke coming from a building at 125 Commerce St. at 4:47 p.m. on July 1.

After seeing fallen embers igniting spot fires on the roofs of several downtown buildings, officials began evacuating people from nearby homes and businesses.

Officials were able to put out the fires on all but one building that had flame, smoke and water damage.

No injuries were reported.

No other information is available at this time.
