Firefighters in Union City were still dousing hot spots Tuesday morning at the scene of a three-alarm fire.

The large building fire broke out Monday afternoon. There were no reports of injuries.

Part of the roof of the four-story building at 411 Bergenline Ave. collapsed.

Ladder trucks were pouring water on the flames from above.  Heavy smoke was pouring into the sky from the incident.
