Firefighters are still on the scene of a 3-alarm blaze at the abandoned Merrimac Paper Co. in Lawrence.

The flames started shortly before 7 p.m.

The building on South Canal Street was condemned several years ago.

Firefighters were forced to fight the blaze from the exterior due to concerns the roof would collapse. It eventually gave way around 9 p.m.

Investigators have yet to release a preliminary cause for the fire.
