Another business on the other side of the former clothing store sustained smoke damage.
No one was hurt, but the impact was being felt by Homestead's mayor.
"It's hard for the businesses on the avenue to keep wanting to get moving and be successful..., it's not a good image," said Berry Esper.
A fire in Janurary destroyed an entire block.
