Multiple fire agencies from at least three different counties responded to a two-alarm building fire on the 100 block of Pacific Drive in Richland Township early Friday morning. 

The fire call came in shortly before midnight at Roy J Shelton Inc metal fabricators.

At some point during the blaze, the roof collapsed and all firefighters were evacuated from the building prior. 

Stay tuned for more updates.
