Firefighters had to fight the blaze from outside of the building for some time because of the intensity of the flames, the department said. They were able to bring the fire under control at around midnight.
Smoke could be seen throughout much of south Arlington. Fire crews from Alexandria and Fairfax were also called in to assist.
