No one was injured. The shop, in Graham Center strip mall
next to Graham Road, was heavily damaged. The fire did not spread to other
stores, although they could have suffered smoke damage. Firefighters used
compressed air foam to control the fire, due to the flammable chemicals inside
the building, said a spokesperson for the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department. Fire investigators haven’t yet determined the cause of the fire or
the extent of the damage.
