Firefighters were called to the 900 block of 36th Street N.E. They found heavy smoke and flames coming from part of the structure's roof.
"Firefighters forced entry into the building and quickly deployed hoses to contain the fire in the roof area," the fire department said in a news release.
"Crews had to use aerial ladders and ground ladders to move firefighters to the roof area and open up the affected area. This approach allowed them to attack the fire and allow crews to bring the fire under control."
CFD said the mall was searched, but no one was found inside. Firefighters noted that the fire was confined to the southern part of the building.
Hari Singh Gusain told Global News that he owns a kebab shop that was damaged by the fire.
