At one point the fire spread to three alarms, "which means about 120 PFD members were at the scene — firefighters, medics, chiefs, and support personnel," the Philadelphia Fire Department said on Facebook.

More than 12 hours later the firefight continued, Firefighters said.

"Twelve hours later -- at 9:30 a.m. on Christmas Day -- members were still at the scene extinguishing hot spots," firefighters said. "No injuries have been reported, and the cause will be investigated by our Fire Marshal's Office."
