UPDATE: 9:05PM
Big Spring fire crews are battling a fire at the old Hall-Dennett Hospital building at 9th and Goliad at this hour.
Big Spring Fire Marshal Carl Condray tells CBS 7 that the fire is currently centered on the second floor of the building, and has reached the roof.
Low water pressure was a problem early on, but Condray says they it is getting better.
Condray says because of efforts to keep transients out of the old building, it caused them some trouble in trying to get inside the building.
There is no threat to the neighbors nearby, but Condray says there are problems with people stopping by and looking.
He urges everyone to stay out of the area and allow them to work to contain the blaze.
