BURLINGTON An early-morning fire caused $50,000 in structural damage to a Food Basics store.

At 1:35 a.m. Monday, firefighters were called to the grocery at 1505 Guelph Line near Upper Middle Road, where flames were coming from the roof.

Platoon Chief Craig Slack said the fire destroyed a storage shed behind the building and spread up the wall of the store toward the ceiling. A van parked nearby was also destroyed by the blaze.

There were no injuries.

Slack referred to the $50,000 in damages as "purely structural."

Officials from Halton Region's board of health were expected at the site later Monday morning to assess whether merchandise would need to be removed from the store due to smoke exposure.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.
