The reporting party and responders described a smell of burning, possibly electrical wiring, but no visible flames; occupants were evacuating. Crews staged at a nearby hydrant on the southwest corner of Lorry Drive and planned to use a ladder to evaluate the roof and interior. Crews are using equipment to look for heat / smoke sources and checking HVAC units. Possible issue from store lighting.
