First responders arrived on the scene to find heavy smoke coming from the building. After being unable to enter due to an energized power line down on the structure, the crew began a defensive fire attack.

Dominion Power was called and de-energized the line, and the crew was able to begin an interior attack. Fire was contained at 7:08 p.m.

The business was closed at the time and no one was hurt.
