Damage was limited to one side of the building because of a thick firewall and crews were able to extinguish the fire within about 20 minutes, Matson said. There were no injuries.

The owners are insured. Official cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Kitsap County Fire Marshal. The fire scene is located near the scene of a cell tower that closed down State Route 305 for 12 hours Monday.
