The remains of an apartment building in Rowan County will be torn down after a fire gutted it Friday afternoon.

A police officer was treated for smoke inhalation after the fire broke out at about noon at the building, located on Main Street in Morehead. Officials say all the residents home at the time were able to make it out safely and all pets were also taken out of the building.

A resident of the building says it had been converted and that it had five one-bedroom apartments that housed students from Morehead State University.
