Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue officials said when firefighters arrived, there was heavy smoke coming from the building and filling the street.
Around 70 firefighters in total responded and were able to get the blaze under control but around an hour into it the roof collapsed.
"Fortunately at that moment we had already pulled firefighters back, we were in a defensive fire attack mode, so there were no firefighters inside when that occurred, thankfully," Battalion Chief Michael Kane said.

Kane said the building, which is around 85,000 square feet, houses a dozen businesses including the furniture store.
"There were no injuries, however the building is a complete loss. There were workers inside the building however they were able to self-evacuate," Kane said.
Kane said roof work had been done before the fire, but it's unknown if that contributed to the fire or collapse.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
