Emergency crews responded to an early morning fire at the H-Mart in northwest Austin.

It started at around 3:30 a.m. at the supermarket on Lakeline Boulevard. When crews arrived they found a fire in the meat section.

Firefighters were able to get the fire out quickly. Everyone who was inside the store at the time made it out safely.

No word on what caused the fire or the cost of the damages but officials said there needed to be extensive smoke removal so it's not clear when or if the store will open today.
