A Payless Shoe store in Kensington is burning.

Philadelphia firefighters are battling the temperatures and the flames at a shoe store Tuesday morning.

The three-alarm fire at Payless Shoes in Kensington was called in about 5:11 a.m.

Some of the hydrants in the area were unusable due to the extreme temperatures, according to Myfoxphilly.

SEPTA stations in the area of the fire have been shut down as a precaution due to the risk of icing. Buses are running instead.

Firehouse will have more when it becomes available.
