Firefighters quickly attacked the fire with a 2-inch handline and had the fire contained by 1:49 p.m. Crews were able to determine that the fire had not spread to the interior or attic space of the building.
The fire is under investigation but a determination has not been made to the cause. No one was injured in the fire and a damage estimate was given of $3,500.
