The fire which broke out at Primark at Bank Buildings in Belfast has finally been extinguished.
Fourteen businesses remain closed within the cordoned off area.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service says the investigation to determine the cause is ongoing.
“The scene has been handed over to Primark, who are managing an outer cordon.
“This has been a complex operation and Fire Crews will maintain a watching brief over the coming days,” said a NIFRS spokesperson.
Fire crews have been commended for their tremendous efforts during this challenging incident and for saving the refurbished rear extension of the building and adjacent properties, says the NIFRS.
“We are also grateful for the valuable assistance provided by our multi-agency partners and the support from the public during this time,” added the spokesperson.
