Fire department spokeswoman Elise Armacost says the fire in the old Seagram's building in the 7100 block of Sollers Point Road was reported around 4 p.m. Friday.
When firefighters arrived, Armacost says flames could be seen coming through the roof. She says one side of the building has collapsed.
Armacost says firefighters are not being sent into the five-story building because it is vacant.
No injuries have been reported.
