The cause of the fire is under investigation. Officials said the fire did cause minor damage to the building next door.

A deputy chief with the Brookfield Fire Department noted the building is up to code, but a sprinkler system would've prevented such destruction.

"Kind of a reminder to everybody here. We talk about sprinkler systems in the fire service, in certain commercial buildings, and this is one building that didn't have a sprinkler and the outcome could have been prevented," Brian Gerner, Brookfield Fire Department said.

Officials with the ATF and State Fire Marshal's Office are among those investigating.
