A fire ripped through a Treasure Coast business this morning but an even bigger disaster was averted when firefighters kept the flames from spreading to a nearby fireworks store.
The blaze broke out at Southeast Pools and Spas along U.S. One in Port St. Lucie in the 5 a.m. hour.
When crews arrived, the found half of the building engulfed in flames and deemed it a second alarm fire, with nearly 50 firefighters sent to the scene.
One firefighter and a civilian were taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
A cause is under investigation.
