Investigators said when they arrived on scene they located clothes on fire inside a dryer. Crews had a difficult time locating and disabling the natural gas line to the business, which delayed their knockdown of the fire.
Multiple people were inside the business when the fire broke out, but no injuries were reported.
The dry cleaning side of Fox Cleaners is not believed to have suffered any damage and firefighters believe business will not be impacted.
Southbound lanes of North Main Street reopened shortly after 11:30 a.m.
