Fire damages Hillsborough County business

Hillsborough County, Florida - Fire Rescue units were busy Sunday with a fire inside a business at 5132 Tampa West Boulevard.

Responding units reported heavy smoke coming from the rear of the Stephen Gould Corporation. The first engine on the scene immediately called for a third alarm due to the size of the building. The office and warehouse were stocked with cardboard boxes and other packaging supplies.

Officials say the building's sprinkler system kept the fire under control while firefighters mopped up hotspots.

Hillsborough Fire-Rescue dispatched 16 units to the fire. Tampa Fire-Rescue also sent an engine, a battalion chief and a vent truck to help pull smoke out of the warehouse.

Investigators are on the scene trying to determine how the fire started. At the time of the fire, the business was closed and no employees were at work.
