Firefighters are working to determine the cause of a fire that erupted Saturday at an industrial complex in South Seattle.
Witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke seeping from the building's roof around 3:20 p.m. The business, located in the 400 block of South 96th Street, was not occupied at the time of the fire.
There were no reported injuries.
Initially, a single fire engine was dispatched. Due to the heat of the flames and the size of the building, however, the call was upgraded to a full response.
The fire appears to have started in a paint booth, authorities said.
Firefighters reported smoke coming from smoke stacks on the roof of the single-story building and from under several roll-up doors.
Upon entering, they found the sprinkler system had controlled the flames. The firefighters extinguished the fire.
Twelve sprinkler heads were activated due to the fire and heat.
