New Bedford fire officials are investigating a Monday night fire.

District Chief Michael Danderand says crews were called to 33 Rodney French Blvd. around 9:30 p.m. and, upon arrival, found the rear door of the building burning.

Crews were able to stop the fire at the door although there was some damage inside of the former Lemelin's Hardware Store near the rear door.

No injuries were reported.

Although no cause has been determined Danderand says the fire is considered suspicious.
