Ten shops were destroyed during a fire at the Ocho Rios Market in St Ann on Sunday.
The fire, which started sometime before 5:00 p.m., is suspected to have been caused by an electrical short circuit.
The shops are located at the rear of the market where agricultural produce is sold.
A team from the Ocho Rios Fire Department extinguished the blaze.
No one was injured as a result of the fire.
Mayor of St. Ann's Bay, Michael Belnavis said an assessment of the damage will be done.
