Firefighters have brought a huge fire in a commercial building north of downtown Milwaukee under control early Friday morning.

Winds gusts of up to 30 mph fanned the flames at the three-story building which partially collapsed. The building housed Metro PSC and a hair salon.

Fire officials say no one was injured. The blaze closed nearby Clara Mohammed school for the day.
