Oklahoma City firefighters are on scene of a fire in the downtown area Sunday morning.

The fire happened at the old Oklahoma City jail located near Shartel Avenue and Couch Drive.

Due to the jail going through the process of being torn down, a fire official confirmed that fire crews have had trouble access parts of the building because there are areas where the floor is missing.

Oklahoma City police said two people experiencing homelessness were in the building at the time of the fire. The people were questioned by arson investigators but ultimately arrested on warrants unrelated to the fire.

No injuries have been reported.

This is a developing story.
