ATIKOKAN, Ont. -- Fire officials continue to investigate a fire that broke out in Atikokan Tuesday morning.

The Voyageur Bait and Tackle shop was destroyed early Tuesday morning after the shop went up in flames.

Fire Chief Graham Warburton said his crews did a good job making sure the fire didn't spread to the nearby gasoline tank and pumps on the property.

The store had been located on Highway 11B leading into Atikokan for decades and was one of only two stores in town that offered gasoline.

Warburton added they're still looking into the cause.
