State fire marshals are investigating a suspicious fire that engulfed a shopping center early Thanksgiving morning.
The fire at the Village Plaza shopping center in Daytona Beach broke out at about 4 a.m. Thursday and spread into several units, according to WKMG-TV in Orlando. Daytona Beach fire officials believe the flames started in a nutritional store.
Fire officials said a sprinkler system was not in place. Many of the units were not currently being leased and there were no people at the time of the fire.
