Markham Fire is investigating after a fire broke out on the roof of Pacific Mall on Monday afternoon.
They received a call around 10:15 a.m. and crews were able to access the roof and put out the fire quickly.
The fire occurred in a restaurant kitchen HVAC unit on the roof, but there is no word on whether the restaurant was on the first or second floor of the mall.
