"Challenging because we couldn't make entry into the building, it took us a while," Camden Fire Chief Larry Flax said.
By about 9:10 a.m., officials said, it took crews about an hour and a half to get the fire under control.
A fire official on the scene told NBC10 that there had been signs that there may have been people squatting in the building before the fire took place.
No injuries were reported in this incident and air tests didn't raise alarms, officials said.
