A fire at an abandoned store building in Accomack County drew the local fire companies who put out the blaze in over two hours.

The first reportedly started around 11 p.m. last night.

Authorities say no one was injured but the old Pricilla Mears store building was deemed a total loss.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that there were fire fighters from Accomack and Northampton Counties who responded to the blaze.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
