CHARLOTTE — Charlotte firefighters battled blazes at an abandoned Bank of America in southeast Charlotte Friday night.
Firefighters responded to the scene at the 9700 block of Monroe Road around 7 p.m. Friday. Officials said smoke was showing on arrival.
The fire caused crews to close Monroe Road from Orchard Lake Drive to Sardis Road North for a while. It later reopened.
No one was hurt, but the roof of the abandoned bank collapsed, causing $425,000 in damage.
Investigators told Channel 9 that the fire began outside the building and spread inside. The incident is still under investigation.
