Firefighters received an alarm from the building's sprinkler system.

When crews arrived, they found one of the rollup doors partially open and a burning vehicle inside.

Firefighters acted quickly to contain the fire.

"They arrived on scene and finding the doors open like that the fire would be suspicious, so we're going do a thorough investigation. When I first arrived, the captain didn't notice anyone immediately in the vicinity of the fire," said Fire Battalion Chief Sean Johnson.
