A fire broke out at a strip mall in Wakefield, Massachusetts, on Sunday evening.
The Lowell Street retail center includes Dino's Brick Oven Pizza, where smoke was observed.
Firefighters then found the fire inside North Shore Animal Academy, another business there. The animals in the store were said to be mostly reptiles, and they were all removed from the building. The fire was contained to that business, but smoke was throughout the complex.
Crews were able to get the fire knocked down, and there were no injuries reported to any of the people or animals in the building.
