Several businesses were destroyed by fire in Hicksville early this morning.
The building's fire walls were credited to helping stop the fire before the entire row of businesses were destroyed, a Hicksville fire official told CBS.
A halal restaurant that just opened two weeks ago, a Chinese church, and a beloved doughnut and coffee shop are in ruins.
