A small fire broke out at Yummy Hot Bagels on Route 17 South Friday morning causing damage to a portion of the shop's ceiling, according to Assistant Chief Kevin Sheehan of the Paramus Fire Department.
Sheehan said the fire remains under investigation. The shop's workers had already put the fire out with an extinguisher just before firefighters arrived, he said.
There were no injuries reported and no damage to the two neighboring stores - Jan Fence and Just for Pups. All three stores were evacuated while firefighters were on the scene.
