Officials said a fire in the old Okolona Public Library shut down all lanes of traffic on Preston Highway Friday.
Okolona Fire Department crews responded to an abandoned building and were able to see fire from down the street, according to officials.
Frankie Nalley with the Okolona Fire Department said around 35 firefighters arrived to the second alarm call and got the fire under control.
No injuries were reported and the fire is under investigation. Nalley said multiple small fires have been reported at this location from people living in the abandoned building.
