Broadway Fire damages to commercial structure in El Centro

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA) - A fire broke out in El Centro, causing massive damage to a commercial structure.

The fire sparked Wednesday night on Broadway, between Fourth and Fifth Street.

Firefighters were there overnight extinguishing the flames, and they got it under control Thursday morning.

A few firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

"Upon arrival, we found a fully involved commercial structure fire which had had multiple reports," said Battalion Chief Andrew Miller with the El Centro Fire Department. "We moved it to a defensive fire attack position due to the type of building and the amount of fire we were encountering."

The structure has about seven businesses, with the owners trying to figure out what to rebuild.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
