Fire Breaks Out Overnight at Sparks Business; No One Hurt

Posted: Updated:

Sparks firefighters are investigating what caused flames to break out at a business early Thursday morning.

Firefighters say a bystander called them after seeing smoke coming from the roof of a building on Sullivan Lane around 1 am.

Crews eventually found the fire in the attic - and put it out before it could reach neighboring businesses.

No one was hurt.

A preliminary investigation shows the fire may have started by accident, and maybe started by a fluorescent light ballast.

Eighteen personnel responded included a Battalion Chief, three structure engines, one truck company, one ladder company, one safety officer and one fire investigator.
