The warehouse building has about 10 suites, fire department spokesman Tim Szymanski said.
The unit that caught fire had evidence that homeless people may have been using the building.
Szymanski said the building was vacant and no utilities were connected.
The cause was being investigated, he said. Damage was estimated at $25,000.
