Authorities say a massive fire has destroyed a 28,000 square-foot warehouse in a Wichita, Kansas, suburb.

No injuries were reported in the fire that saw five area fire departments respond to help battle the flames. It took more than two hours to get the blaze under control.

Sedgwick County Fire Capt. Bill Herold says the loss from the fire is estimated at $1.6 million.

The warehouse held two businesses — a maintenance facility for 18-wheelers and an electrical company.
