HICKORY, N.C. (WBTV) - Heavy fire destroyed an abandoned furniture plant in Hickory overnight.

St. Stephens Fire Department was called to 2015 24th St. NE just before midnight Saturday. There, they found heavy flames throughout the building.

The 67-year-old building was declared a total loss.

Crews were still cleaning up the still-smoking damage more than 12 hours later, extinguishing hot spots and bulldozing the rubble.

“You could feel the heat intense coming from the window,” said Shari Lodestro, whose house is next to the plant.

Despite the size of the fire, crews were able to keep it from spreading to nearby homes.

The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
