Fire damages commercial building on Martin Way in Olympia

A fire early Monday caused about $20,000 in damages to a commercial building in the 3900 block of Martin Way East, according to the Olympia Fire Department.

Crews were dispatched about 7 a.m. Fire officials said via social media that the fire was quickly knocked down. One business, a financial planning office, was damaged in the blaze, while the remaining businesses in the building were unaffected.

No one was injured in the fire.

Investigators determined that the fire was triggered by a faulty interior outlet. The building also did not have a fire alarm or sprinklers, according to fire officials.
