The Jackson Fire Department called in assistance from Millersville and Cape Girardeau Monday to put out a fire at a white work shed at 552 E. Main Street, across from the K-9 Training Center, near the Co-Op.
The fire was called in at 9:35 a.m.
The building was being rented by Jason Laster, who has been running a cabinet-making business there for about nine months.
Jackson Fire Chief Brad Golden said the fire appeared to start in a trash can, but added that there will be an investigation to determine what exactly started the blaze.
Laster was not in the building at the time of the fire, he said. No one was injured.
