Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a fire in a commercial building in downtown Victoria on Tuesday afternoon.
Crews were called to 1320 Broad Street near Johnson just before 4 p.m.
They arrived to find thick smoke pouring out of the entrance to Saint Franks restaurant.
Firefighters proceeded up a stairwell to a loft and office area with computers and office equipment.
“Crews entered the building and found a small fire in an office on the second floor, ” said Battalion Chief Mark Robertson.
They managed to quickly extinguish the flames but heavy charring was visible during a subsequent search.
No one was injured.
