Philadelphia firefighters battled a fire at a vacant building in Manayunk on Sunday afternoon. It started around 3:30 p.m. near Main Street and Leverington Avenue. The building used to house the former Carmella's Restaurant which closed in 2004. The vacant building is located on Venice Island between the Manayunk Canal and the Schuylkill River. The building itself has become popular with graffiti artists and urban explorers. The fire was brought under control by 4:24 p.m. Main Street was already closed about a block away for the StrEAT Festival and fire activity closed portions of Leverington which caused traffic problems. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Vineland police.
