An unoccupied building fire in Lake Country was saved Tuesday, due to the quick work of firefighters.
It was around 7 p.m. Tuesday when Lake Country fire department was called to a fire at the 9900 Block of Highway 97 and found OKGN market filling with smoke and fire, deputy fire chief Glen Gregory said.
“Fortunately no one was injured as the building was closed and unoccupied at the time,” fire officials said in a press release.
The building was saved but damage was significant to the front side of the store, Gregory said.
Lake Country Fire Department has completed an investigation into the cause.
In the end they have determined the fire was not criminal in nature and there is no risk to the public.
Officers remained on scene until a contractor was able to secure the building.
- correction, an original version of those story said vacant. Though there were no people in the building it is an operating business.
