A fire over the noon hour has closed Save On Foods on Central for the day.

Fire Chief John Lane says the blaze was contained to the roof of the store.

"Some of the roofing materials were ignited. There's some temporary railings up there so there was some roofing maintenance ongoing. It appears that some of those roofing materials caught fire during the maintenance operations. No injuries or mishaps at all."

Lane says everyone inside was evacuated.

The exact cause of the fire is not yet known.
