TAMPA, FL -- A fire at a strip mall Tuesday damaged store inventory but caused no injuries.
Tampa Fire Rescue responded to a fire at 3260 W. Hillsborough Ave., east of Dale Mabry Highway, at 9:50 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29. Crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the northeast side of the structure. There was fire in one of the businesses- a clothing store- that was closed and unoccupied at the time of the crews' arrival.
The incident commander called for a second alarm due to the size of the structure and to minimize property damage. The Hush Gentlemen's Club located on the opposite end of the building was open at the time but all of the patrons safely exited the building and were uninjured.
