By the time Sky5 arrived at the scene, firefighters had gotten a hold of the situation; however, the flames appeared to have damaged a boat and a food truck parked outside the structure as well as two vehicles parked on the adjacent street.
The building itself, said to house a flooring company, did not appear to sustain any significant damage.
