SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Officials say a fire broke out at a World War II-era building in Santa Fe that was part of the set of the “Manhattan” television series.

The blaze next to the Santa Fe University of Art and Design sent flames 30 to 40 feet into the air Monday night. No injuries were reported.

School spokeswoman Rachael Lighty says crews were able to get the flames under control about two hours after the fire started.

The abandoned building was part of an Army hospital that housed men wounded in WWII.

It was used later for two seasons of the WGN series “Manhattan,” which debuted in 2014 and focused on the creation of the atomic bomb in Los Alamos in the 1940s.

The cause of Monday’s fire remains under investigation.
