UPDATE: Firefighters put out the Clearwater Paper fire around 12:18 p.m. Monday.
Officials are still investigating the cause of the flames.
"There's a potential for us to be able to go in and save the building from any further damage without causing harm to our firefighters we'll do that," said Capt. Cedric Williams. "In this case, that was an option for us to go in and actively fight the fire."
