A fire late Wednesday which burned into Thursday morning destroyed a warehouse in West Toledo, authorities said.

There were no reported injuries.

Fire crews arrived about 11:50 p.m. and found heavy smoke and fire at a one-story warehouse building at 5225 Telegraph Road near Laskey Road. They then conducted a defensive operation, meaning that none of them went inside the building.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze and left the scene by about 2:50 a.m., by which time the building was a total loss, according to the Toledo Fire Department.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

The Lucas County Coroner s Web site lists Tremonti Family Ltd. as the owner of the warehouse.
