\"Due<\/a>
Due to the thick smoke, firefighters wear masks to enter the door in one of the two units of a commercial building located along Beach Road, Quarter Master during the fire on Saturday morning. No one was injured in the blaze. (DEREK GERSONDE)<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nA fire of still unknown cause broke out at a store and the adjacent law office of immigration lawyer Mun Su Park at a one-story commercial building on Beach Road, Quarter Master on Saturday morning. <\/p>\n

No one was reported injured in the blaze, according to Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesman Derek Gersonde yesterday.<\/p>\n

Gersonde said smoke and heat damage were found on the northern part of the building, which were occupied by the Law Office of Park and Plumeria Store II.<\/p>\n

Fire investigators determined that the blaze originated from the Plumeria Store II.<\/p>\n

Gersonde said DFEMS received a call from Department of Public Safety 911 dispatch on Saturday at 7:15am about a fire at a building on Beach Road, Quarter Master, where the Park\u2019s Law Office is located.<\/p>\n

Gersonde said firefighters and medics from the Susupe and Garapan fire stations responded to the location.<\/p>\n

Firefighters placed the fire under control at 8:39am.<\/p>\n

Firefighters prevented the blaze from transferring to other businesses in the same building.<\/p>\n

It is the first fire incident in the CNMI this year.<\/p>\n

Last Dec. 21, a fire of unknown cause engulfed an abandoned semi-concrete one-story house near Saipan Southern High School along Tinaktak Drive in Koblerville.<\/p>\n

Last Dec. 4, fire broke out at a barbecue stand in San Vicente and investigators determined that the cause was electrical. The barbecue stand sustained minor damage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
