9h agoA two-alarm fire damaged a Bridgeport flooring supply store, officials say.
The fire happened at King Floor Supplies 2, located at 215 Island Brook Ave., just after 10 p.m. on Monday.
Bridgeport Fire Chief Lance Edwards says the building houses hardwood floors and adhesives, so there was a concern with the chemical storage in the building as crews were fighting the fire.
A second alarm was quickly called in.
Firefighters from Fairfield and Stratford provided mutual aid to cover the city.
Nearby businesses evacuated as a precaution.
Edwards says fire crews searched the building and found no one inside. He says no one was hurt.
It's unclear the extent of damage to the business and when it will reopen.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
