The fire was reported at 5:30 a.m. at 2255 West Lugonia Ave., in the area of Highway 10 and Mountain View Avenue.
Video of the scene showed huge flames and columns of black smoke shooting hundreds of feet into the air as teams from the Redlands Fire Department fought against the fire. It is not clear if anyone was injured.
Highway 10 was closed in both directions, Caltrans reports. The east side was closed on Mountain View Avenue and the west side was closed on California Street. Drivers were advised to avoid the area.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department, which was assisting in the response, reported that the building was a distribution center for e-commerce giant Amazon. There were several large Amazon rigs parked outside that also caught fire.
