\nLouisville Fire Department battled a large fire of a strip mall on Breckenridge Lane Monday (6\/17) afternoon.<\/p>\n
The call came in around 4:55 p.m. Monday of a structure on fire in the 100 block of Breckenridge Lane, near the intersection of Shelbyville Road, right in the heart of St. Matthews. When crews arrived five minutes later, they found heavy smoke and fire shooting from the roof of the small strip mall in that block.<\/p>\n
The building houses several businesses, including the Simply Mac computer repair shop, Domino\u2019s Pizza, and Scheller\u2019s Fitness and Cycling.<\/p>\n
Louisville Fire Department Chief Gregory Frederick said the initial call came in as an electrical fire from the back of one of the stores. Frederick said he believes the fire started at the Simply Mac store, but that has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n
Firefighters immediately went to work on the fire, which had spread from the back electrical closet, into the shared attic. They began fighting the fire from above the roof, but once through, they found another roof under the top one. Firefighters were called off and sent to fight the fire from the ground.<\/p>\n
Frederick said one firefighter was injured when he fell through the roof, or through another surface, but added that he was \u201cfor the most part OK.\u201d Another firefighter was overheated and was treated by EMS.<\/p>\n
The fire crew was on the scene for several hours and the building sustained significant damage.<\/p>\n
No civilians were injured.<\/p>\n
Louisville Fire Department Arson team will do a full investigation.
