Firefighters arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the roof and quickly escalated the situation to a first alert, requesting assistance from additional crews. There were also concerns about possible hazardous materials, such as automotive oils, inside the business, so firefighters took a defensive stance to battle the blaze.
