Fire crews are Investigating a suspicious overnight fire at the Dollar Only store on Shaw Avenue in Fresno.

Fire crews were called to the store near Shaw and Valentine around 1:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.

When they arrived, the fire was almost out from the store's sprinkler system.

The fire was contained to the office in the back of the store and is being called suspicious.

Fresno Fire Battalion Chief Chuck Tobias said, "It's being investigated right now by a Fresno Fire Department investigator with the assistance of Fresno P.D. as a possible burglary with a fire to cover the crime."

While there was not heavy damage from the fire, much of the store's inventory was damaged from sprinkler system and smoke.

Damage estimates are not known at this time.
