Several hundred firefighters and several cranes were reportedly deployed at the scene, battling the blaze in the building.
The emergencies services said the roof partially collapsed as a result of the blaze.
News agencies reported at least one firefighter has been injured.
The Defense Ministry, confirming the incident, said the fire would not affect or hamper its core operations.
There were no immediate reports about the cause of the fire; however, the fire may have reportedly started as a result of a short circuit involving old electrical wiring.
