Feb. 28--Flames lit up the predawn sky in north Fulton County Friday as a large fire destroyed a medical office building in Alpharetta.

No injuries were reported in the blaze, which broke out before 4 a.m. Friday in the 12000 block of Crabapple Road near Arnold Mill Road.

The two-story, brick building houses several medical offices, including the Roswell Pediatric Center, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Flames that had leaped as high as 50 to 100 feet into the night air had been knocked down by 5 a.m., as firefighters continued to pour water on the building, which sits just behind the landmark red and tan silos in the Crabapple community.

The roof of the building collapsed as firefighters from Alpharetta and neighboring Milton worked to douse the flames.

Fire officials have not said what caused the fire.
