Platoon chief Doug Grieve said there were some explosions heard inside the building, but crews managed to stop the whole building from being lost.
“The crews made a good stop in partitioning it off and saving the majority of the building, of course smoke damage will have to be determined,” Grieve said.
He went on to say the fire was contained to the warehouse section of the building.
The fire and cause is currently under investigation.
