Firefighters in Altamonte Springs, Fla., are trying to determine what sparked a blaze that damaged a sporting goods store that was closed at the time flames were reported.
Several fire units were called to the Good Sports store in Altamonte Springs Saturday after fire was spotted in the building.
"I walked outside and the building was up in flames," witness Lynn Bemage said.
Highly flammable equipment inside the business contributed to the intensity of the fire, Local 6 reported late Saturday.
"At one point, firefighters had to be evacuated for their own safety," Local 6's Louis Bolden said.
There were no injuries in connection with the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
