Mitchell said firefighters will use heavy machinery to gain access to the building that they otherwise cannot reach.

"So we are going to have to take apart the building a little to take the fire out," Mitchell said.

No injuries have been reported.

The dealership sells dirtbikes, motorcycles, ATVs and utility vehicles.
