Multiple fire crews from several agencies are battling a massive blaze at the Charlestown Mall building in Utica.
The Utica Fire Department was the first called to the scene at 311 Turner Street just before 1:30 this morning.
Several social media videos show the building fully engulfed and Utica Fire officials announced that due to the size of the fire and the duration of the burn, air quality is a concern.
Officials took to social media to say smoke and ash are covering the lower side of East Utica and residents should remain indoors and keep doors and windows closed, if possible.
