BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Firefighters
are investigating what caused a fire that destroyed most of the merchandise in
a store Thursday morning.
It sparked
at a business in the 3000 block of Plank Road in Baton Rouge around 6:15 a.m.
The Baton
Rouge Fire Department said crews saw heavy smoke billowing from the store when
they arrived on the scene. Firemen reported finding flames behind the checkout
counter.
Reports
indicate firefighters kept the fire contained to that area, but the rest of the
store had heavy heat and smoke damage. The fire was under control in less than
30 minutes of their arrival.
The fire
department reported about $250,000 worth of the store's inventory was destroyed
by the heat.
Officials
added the quick action by the firefighters helped spare the business next door
from any damage related to the fire.
