ORLANDO, Fla. --

Firefighters battled a fire at a small grocery store in Orlando Monday night.

It happened along Lake Underhill Road.

Before firefighters entered the LaGriolla Deli-Grocery, they had to determine how they could quickly escape if trouble arose because of bars on the store's windows.

Officials said they decided to pull the bars off the windows and then battle the fire.

Nobody was inside during the blaze, and no injuries were reported.

Investigators said the blaze ignited in a back storage room.
