The fire damage caused a gas leak, which then caused additional fire and damage. Fire crews needed to wait for a utility company to arrive on scene to shut the gas off so the fire could be put out completely. It was entirely out by 10:15 a.m.

Authorities confirm there were no injuries in the incident but do consider the fire suspicious and will continue to investigate the cause.
