A large fire was burning late Friday night at a commercial building in Nashua, New Hampshire.
The Nashua Fire Department said flames broke out at 495 Amherst Street, which is the listed address for a strip mall that includes Lanna Asian Market, Ciao's Pizza, an All State insurance office and Sub Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream.
It wasn't immediately clear if the businesses were open at the time.
Pictures posted to Twitter appear to show the heaviest fire coming from the Asian market. The fire had visibly engulfed the grocery store, with flames and black smoke shooting through the roof.

What a day. I wasn't even planning on going up that way but chance I did and called. I really hope the people at Ciao's Pizza made it out safely. Thank you @NashuaPolice and @nashuafire for responding so quickly pic.twitter.com/bVjXbEU2yV
