DURHAM, N.C. — Emergency crews battled a 2 alarm structure fire along U.S. Highway 70 near South Miami Boulevard in Durham Friday night.

Around 9:35 p.m., the Durham Fire Department was dispatched to the series trailers, which are being used as a construction office for the East End Connector highway project.

A weak hydrant near the scene could not supply enough water for incident, so water tankers were called in from Durham County Fire Rescue and the Redwood Volunteer Fire Department.

The fire was under control in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

The fire destroyed the building, but there were no injuries or disruption to traffic.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
