The firefighters found heavy smoke coming from a one-story, 35-by-40-foot concrete block building in the Mission Business Park, Wells said.

It took 80 firefighters about an hour to extinguish the flames.

Most of the damage was sustained by Western Visual, with $750,000 in property and $500,000 in structural loss, Wells said.

Lyndon Distribution sustained about $20,000 in property and $5,000 in structural damage, and Magnetic 21 sustained about $5,000 in structural damage, authorities said.

The damaged property included videotapes and printed material, authorities said.
