Smoke was coming from the eaves from Valentine’s Fitness and Weight Loss Centre, so firefighters went inside to launch an attack and the fire was quickly put out.
The building’s sprinkler system helped control the fire before firefighters got there, said the WFPS.
The building suffered minimal fire damage but the business saw extensive smoke damage, they added.
No one was in the building at the time, and the fire was caused by a broken bathroom fan. There are currently no damage estimates.
