No one was injured and the fire was put out quickly by firefighters.
Employees were sent home early.
The cause was a transformer that blew out causing a fire. There is no evidence that it was the result of arson or foul play.
It’s unclear how much damage was sustained, but it appears to have been minimal and contained to the building on the lot where the fire started.
