Fire Hits Lakeview Shopping CenterA fire in the Lakeview Shopping Center on Winona Avenue late Monday night affected several businesses.
Michoacan Market, No Way Jose's Taco Grill and Paradise Pawn Shop sustained the most damage in the blaze.
According to Warsaw Fire Chief Mike Rice, the fire is believed to have started in No Way Jose's Taco Grill, and then spread to the other businesses.
Crews from the Warsaw Fire Department received a call about fire coming through the roof at the shopping center around 11:16 p.m. and were able to dump large amounts of water on the fire early to help get it under control.
Along with the three business that sustained fire damage, Paradise Music had smoke and heat damage.
At least 70 firefighters battled the blaze, and crews from Atwood, Pierceton, Winona Lake, Claypool, North Webster and Leesburg assisted the Warsaw Fire Department in battling the blaze.
There was no one in any of the buildings and there were no injuries.
The cause of the fire, which took about an hour to put out, is undetermined at this time. Damage is estimated to be between $500,000 to $900,000.
