Saw this on Philly Fire News. Anyone have any details?

Command reported heavy fire in a commercial building, placed all hands in service. The second alarm was requested, along with EMS rehab. No injuries reported.

I know that the cleaners is middle of the row in Sharps Run Plaza. I don't know if it spread to other businesses.

drove past it today pretty extensive damage to the building, it was the pack and ship and quest diagnostic, the dmv must have been ok cause it was open today, the cleaners and the other two were boarded up and the roof was pretty much gone.

At approximately 04:40 hours on Wednesday, March 5th, Task Force 2513 was dispatched to the area of Route 70 and Jones Road for a building fire. The actual location of the incident was B&K Cleaners, Quest Diagnostics and the Quick Pack and Ship in the Sharp’s Run Plaza. Chief 2510 was first on location and immediately requested a second alarm. Engine 2511 was placed into service with a 2 ½” Hand Line. Tender 2526 was placed into service with a second 2 ½” hand line. Quint 2514 was ordered to set up on the A-B corner of the involved units and place the elevated master stream into service. Ladder 2235 was sent to Division C to vent the roof. The incident took less than 30 minutes to place under control and there was one minor firefighter injury that was treated at the scene. The fire did not progress much further than was evident upon our arrival and the Motor Vehicle Agency located next to B&K Cleaners was able to open later that morning.
