Fire breaks out in antique shop alongside Savannah's riverfront

SAVANNAH - A fire broke out Thursday in the attic of an antique shop on the Savannah riverfront. No one was injured. <br> <br> Firefighters and police closed off a small section of the popular tourist area to car and pedestrian traffic. <br> <br> Savannah Fire Department spokeswoman Darlene Tuccillo said brick walls installed as firebreaks in the attic kept the blaze from spreading to other buildings along the riverfront. <br> <br> The damaged building, which houses three stories of gift shops and restaurants, sits next to Savannah&#39;s historic Cotton Exchange, built in 1799. <br> <br> Firefighters did not know what caused the blaze. Tucillo said the flames were still too hot for firefighters to enter the attic.
