TACOMA, Wash. - Tacoma firefighters quickly put out a rooftop fire at the historic Temple Theatre in downtown Tuesday afternoon.

What we know:

The fire produced visible smoke atop the building at 47 St Helens Avenue at around 4 p.m.

According to Tacoma Fire, the fire was contained to a deck and a structure on top of the roof. It was briefly upgraded to a 2-alarm fire.

At 5 p.m., Tacoma Fire said the fire was under control. 

"This fire was very visible all across town, you know, from the highway, from people in town, so there was a thick plume of black smoke with lots of flames that people could see, but again, it was confined to the rooftop deck and the rooftop structure," said Chelsea Shepherd, Public Information Officer for the Tacoma Fire Department.

There were no reported injuries.
