Firefighters are investigating a fire at a National City neighborhood supermarket.
The fire broke out around 1 a.m. at Big Ben’s Market on 8th Street.
Battalion Chief Larry Silva said there was heavy smoke and fire coming from the roof when crews arrived.
“It was tough to get to the seat of the fire,” Silva said explaining how the second story was accessible from the inside only.
“Most of the fire was coming from the second floor coming through the roof,” he said.
The damage was contained to the second story which is used for storage.
Investigators say they are looking into whether an existing construction project caused the fire.
