Tucson Fire crews put out a blaze at a vacant commercial building near Grant and Balboa Thursday morning.

No one was injured in the fire. The cause is under investigation.

Eleven units with 26 firefighters took 11 minutes to get the blaze under control. They cut a hole in the roof to cool the temperature and remove smoke.

Firefighters found a man sleeping on the floor. Paramedics cared for him and released him at the scene.

Tucson police shut down westbound Grant as crews cleaned up the building. The road reopened around 7 a.m.
