Due to the size of the commercial structure and the intensity of the fire, requiring additional manpower and resources, commanders on the scene swiftly called for a second alarm.
Despite the challenging conditions, HCFR crews worked efficiently and aggressively, bringing the blaze under control in under 30 minutes.
Officials confirmed that no injuries were reported among civilians or first responders involved in the incident.
The HCFR Fire Investigations Unit is currently on location working to determine the cause and origin of the fire. Further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
