Smoke was  coming from the storefront of Flossie's -- a store that sells items such as incense, oils, candles and books -- when firefighters arrived.

Miami Department of Fire-Rescue Capt. Ignatius Carroll said a sprinkler system contained the fire to a small area and prevented it from spreading to neighboring businesses. 

"A small fire was located inside of the store and was quickly extinguished," he said. 

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
