MERCED, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — Multiple fire crews have been called out to battle a large fire at a historic building in Merced.
The building at M Street and 22nd Street once housed the Merced County High School and later the Merced County Library but had been empty for decades.
The Merced Fire Department said they have asked for assistance from multiple fire agencies from Merced and Madera counties to battle the fire.
If possible, people are asked to avoid the area and expect traffic delays and road closures.
