The first PFA crew arrived at the Cottonwood Plaza strip mall located at 1415 N. College Avenue six minutes after the initial call.
There, firefighters found a storage container fully enveloped in flames just west of the strip mall.
Just minutes later, firefighters had the fire under control, preventing any significant damage to the seven-unit strip mall. A couple of units within the strip mall maintained minor smoke and fire damage.
The cause and origin of the fire remains under investigation. More details will be released as the PFA provides more information upon further investigation of the site.
