RENTON, Wash. — Several businesses in a Renton mixed-use building along Main Avenue South continued to smolder Thursday.
A two-alarm fire burned mostly in the roof, and crews are standing back in case the building collapses.
A collapse zone has been set up because part of the building goes over the sidewalk.
Owners of Afghan Cuisine stood by as fire crews sprayed water on their restaurant, which they have owned for three years.

It was under control just after 7 a.m. At one point, smoke from the fire became a distraction for drivers on Interstate 40.
