Responding firefighters climbed the roof of the two-story building to douse the flames. Crews were able to knock down the fire just after 7:30 a.m.
Three ambulances were sent to the scene. One person was transported to the hospital with undisclosed injuries, according to fire officials.
A Dreyer’s Ice Cream shop and Kojack’s restaurant, both located on the first floor of the building, suffered water damage.
