The fire is on the second story of the administration building and in the roof of the hall. Firefighters are currently working to bring the flames under control in the roof but believe they've stopped the fire from spreading further, a fire spokesperson says.
He says the crews are making steady progress with the help from the helicopter.
One of the fireman who had been feeling unwell was taken to hospital as a precaution but has since been released.
