AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Fire Department is investigating the cause of an early morning fire at a business in South Austin.
AFD says the fire broke out before 3:45 a.m. at the Austin Aqua-Dome, a tropical fish business, on Fort View Road.
When firefighters arrived, the entire 500-square foot structure was engulfed in flames.
Officials say the building was locked and secured and there were no reports of any injuries.
Gary with Austin Aqua-Dome posted on Facebook about the fire saying:
"It is true that we had a fire at the Dome, it was in a storage building. Alot of equipment and inventory lost, but the Dome is alive and as well as it can be. Open as usual tomorrow, appreciate seeing you all."
