A section of the Coronation Market in downtown Kingston was today damaged by a fire.
The fire reportedly occurred about 1:30 this morning.
The affected section is located at Chapel Lane.
Several stalls were destroyed in the blaze.
A team from the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation is now on hand to assess the damage.
Councillor of the Tivoli Gardens division, Donovan Samuels, who is a part of the team, told The Gleaner that close to 40 vendors have been affected by the inferno.
This is the third fire at a market in downtown Kingston in recent weeks.
The Ray Ray Market and the Oxford Mall Arcade were affected by fires in February.
Investigations are ongoing.
