Ken Washer, Deputy Fire Chief with the City of Madison Fire Department stated the crews kept the fire contained to the second floor, but the t-shirt shop on the first floor had a significant amount of water damage. 

The fire was reported around 6:30 a.m. Friday morning and the residents of the apartments above the store were not injured in the fire.
