HERKIMER - A fire broke out at the Body Dimensions Fitness Center on Protection Avenue in Herkimer.

The fire was called in just before 11:00 Friday morning. When fire crews first arrived on the scene, heavy smoke was billowing out of the building. The flames were so strong that they caused the roof to collapse. National Grid was also on the scene to cut power to the building.

Traffic was being re-routed around that area, so several streets surrounding Protection Avenue are closed off. No word on if anyone is hurt and no word on a cause.
