FLINT -- A fire erupted at approximately 2:45 a.m. Thursday morning on the east side of Flint on Dort Highway between Davison and Ohio.

The building, which is now vacant, used to be a graphic press shop.

Dort Highway has been closed from Davison to Ohio. No injuries have been reported at this time.

The Flint Police Department is investigating at the scene for potential suspicious activity.

More details from the scene have rolled in throughout the morning including reports that it took only 10 minutes for the walls to collapse after the fire began. It was too dangerous to enter the building as authorities cut the power around the area to prevent further outages.
