The fire was reported at 4:53 a.m. at the store at 115 W. Pennsylvania Ave. and multiple area fire departments responded, Cammarata said.
“We got it out pretty quick, but we were there for about an hour and a half,” Cammarata said.
The fire was contained an area around a cooler in the store, he said.
“We believe it was caused by an electrical malfunction,” he said.
