Fire crews forced entry to the building to extinguish the fire and check for any occupants. Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus fought the fire with hose reel jets.
One person was found inside the building and was led outside. They were described as being "conscious and breathing" and were looked after by paramedics at the scene.
A spokesperson for Merseyside fire and rescue service said: "A person has been located and led from the building by fire crews, conscious and breathing and they are now in the care of North West Ambulance Service. A full systematic search of all floors of the building continues, however the main body of fire has been extinguished."
