AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Fire Department continues to investigate the cause of a structure fire in North Austin.
The backstory:
AFD responded to the fire at Action Pawn shop, a single story building located off of I-35 northbound and Rundberg Lane, at around 2 a.m. on February 13.
Heavy fire burned throughout the structure all morning.
Assistance was called due to hydrant issues. Officials say the hydrant in front of the business worked but the one off of I-35 was out of service.
Two ladder trucks also assisted crew members to keep the fire from spreading.

The Austin Fire Department is working on a structure fire in North Austin that's also causing traffic delays. FOX 7 Austin's Jessica Rivera has the details.
Officials said there were only two entrances to the structure, which made it difficult to put out the flames.
Holes had to be cut on the side of the building to allow water to go inside.
AFD says it used older and newer methods, like mapping the area out on whiteboards and using drones, to fight the fire.
Wind was also a factor.
What's next:
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Officials have not released information on the extent of the damage or the estimated cost of the damages.
