TUSTIN, Calif. -- Fire crews were called to a massive blaze that burned through a two-story office building Tuesday morning.

At least 80 firefighters battled the flames in the 17000 block of Irvine Boulevard just east of the 55 freeway.

The blaze, which was reported around 7:30, created a huge plume of smoke that could be seen for miles.

A large part of the roof collapsed as fire crews attacked the flames from ladders outside the building.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire.
