Carson City fire investigators have not yet determined what started a fire late this morning that nearly destroyed a building that housed a mattress supply business and a hair salon.

The investigation shows the fire began at around 11:45 this morning on the east exterior of the building, said Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi. The two businesses, Mattress King and High Desert Hair, won't be able to operate anytime soon, Giomi said.

Multiple firefighters are battling a blaze at 445 Fairview, the home of Mattress King and High Desert Hair in Carson City.

"This is upsetting considering that both of these stores are brand new to the area," she said.
