Firefighters control flames in the final burn while letting the fire consume the structure on 57th Street Friday. It was part of a controlled burn that acted as a training exercise for fire personnel.
Before the final structure burn, firefighters cut a hole in the structure's roof to help with ventilation. Deputy Chief Scott Krueger said this is a practice in the field, too.
In about 45 minutes, the structure's final burn traveled from its origin in the basement to the rest of the structure, demolishing the top floor and most of the rear of the building.
