Flames engulfed the Buffalo warehouse just after midnight Sunday, requiring dozens of firefighters to control the blaze.

A fire early Christmas Eve morning engulfed a Buffalo warehouse.

Firefighters were called to the building at Rapin Place and Walden Avenue on the city's east side around 12:30 a.m. 

The flames could be seen from blocks away, WGRZ.com reported

In a post on the Fire Buff New York Facebook page, Engine 31 found heavy smoke from a 200-by-50-foot warehouse.

Within minutes, a second alarm was called.

The roof collapsed during the multi-alarm fire.

Firefighters worked to protect nearby homes that were threatened by the fire.
