The building was unoccupied at the time of the fire, according to Terrell Fire Marshal Captain Tom Cooper. The fire was determined to have been cause by an electrical problem inside the building. The fire began near an office at the front of the building.
Several area fire departments responded to provide mutual aid including the Terrell Volunteer Fire Department, the Forney Fire Department, and the Kaufman Fire Department.
One lane of westbound East Moore Avenue/U.S. Highway 80 was closed during fire operations. No injuries were reported.
