 for more than 90 minutes before finally getting the flames knocked down.

When the firefighters arrived, flames were already coming through the roof of the building, officials said.

Firefighters were called back about five hours later when someone called 911 to report seeing smoke again coming from the debris inside the building.

``Someone saw a little smoke, but we can't get in there and tear up the scene because arson investigators have to be able to conduct their investigation,'' Santero said.

Investigators estimated the damage at about $500,000 to the structure and about $150,000 damage to the building's contents.

Arson investigators could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Lancaster sheriff's station at (661) 948-8466.
