The fire was quickly extinguished but not before it scorched the side of the building and damaged some nearby bushes.
The blaze started in a vehicle inside the parkade but it’s too early to determine what caused the vehicle to catch fire.
Leathead Road was closed to traffic for about an hour but is expected to be reopened at any moment.
No word on the cause of the blaze.
