RANDOLPH — Chief Richard Donovan reports that the Randolph Fire Department responded to a 2-alarm fire Tuesday morning at a strip mall.

At approximately 6:35 a.m., Randolph Fire responded to Eyes on Randolph, 1157 North Main St., for a report of a fire on the roof of the building.

Upon arrival, firefighters observed smoke coming from the roof and a second alarm was struck.

Members of the Milton, Stoughton, Weymouth, Holbrook, Avon, Braintree and Canton fire departments all responded to assist at the scene.

Firefighters used ladders to get onto the roof and were able to extinguish the fire before it spread to the other businesses in the strip mall. The fire was contained to the roof and ceiling of the eyecare business. The business also sustained water and smoke damage on the inside.

No one was in the building at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.

Chief Donovan estimates that approximately $100,000 in damage was caused by the fire.

The initial investigation indicates that the fire started within the roof structure of the building. The cause of the fire is not believed to be suspicious and is under investigation by the Randolph Fire Department.

Chief Donovan would like to thank the neighboring fire departments that responded to assist on the call.
