---------
UPDATE - 1820 CDT - The fire was reported under control at 5:09 pm- but CJC firefighters as well as those from at least 2 other departments remain at the scene putting out hot spots.
No injuries have been reported- as firefighting crews have been rotated in and out of the burned structure as heat indices have passed the 100-degree mark
There were water problems from the beginning at this location. Command ordered several water tankers to help provide water to the fire.
