A vacant building was destroyed by flames on Wednesday evening in Scranton.

Crews responded quickly to extinguish the fire at the vacant building up for demolition. Investigators are still looking for the cause of the fire but say it is suspicious in nature due to the fact that the building was abandoned and all utilities were cut.
