Firefighters with the Southeast Thurston Fire Authority responded to reports of an electrical fire at a downtown coffee shop Sunday afternoon.

According to dispatch logs, responders were notified of an apparent electrical fire at Shiplap Shop and Coffee House, located at 112 Yelm Ave, around 3:15 p.m.
