As if a scorpion in Market Square wasn't bad enough. Now there's been a fire. News story below:

A business on the ground floor of Market Square was heavily damaged by fire early Tuesday morning. The blaze broke out around 5 am and Victoria fire crews arrived to find the back kitchen area of the Green Cuisine vegetarian restaurant engulfed in flames. The fire was extinguished and the restaurant sustained about $300,000 worth of damage, according to battalion chief Mark Wells.

Wells said it appears the fire started near a cooler and does not appear suspicious. Firefighters are trying to locate the owner.

Lower Johnson Street was closed for part of the morning but single lane traffic is now being let through.

Businesses on the second and third floors suffered smoke damage and firefighters brought in fans to air them out.
