The 2-alarm fire broke out at the old Ansonia Copper and Brass building, which is a vacant structure that has been ruined for years, according to Assistant Fire Chief Anthony Delucia.

Firefighters said they saw heavy fire coming from the windows upon arrival. Liberty Street was closed but has since reopened.
