El Paso, Tx- Fire fighters battled a large fire in south central El Paso Monday morning.
Black smoke filled the air as approximately three dozen fire fighters rushed to the scene to contain the massive fire.
The structure’s roof and a wall collapsed sending two firefighters to the hospital with minor injuries after part of a wall collapsed on them.
One resident was transported to a hospital due to smoke inhalation.
