"That building has extensive damage. We will not allow any firefighters to go in there," said Kansasville Fire Chief Ronald Molnar. "The ceiling is ready to cave into that building, so we're not going to endanger anybody for that right now."

Due to the heat and short staffing for the holiday weekend, officials said, crews from 14 fire departments were called in to assist.
