About 70 firefighters were on scene trying to control the blaze, he said.

“It’s in the part of the shooting range at the receiving end of the bullets,” Bommarito said. “There’s construction back there with steel walls that catch the rounds, so it’s almost impossible to access.

“They’re trying to cut the metal to make access to get water in there,” he said.

No injuries have been reported as a result of the fire and it wasn’t immediately known if anyone was inside the gun range when the fire started.
