Crews were dispatched to the Home Goods store in Lincoln Plaza on East Lincoln Highway at 12:42 a.m. for a reported fire alarm.
When they arrived, they made entry to the building and encountered smoke, upgrading the call to a working building fire, according to Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company Chief Frank Farry.
“They discovered a trailer at the back loading dock was on fire and it extended into the building,” Farry said.

No injuries were reported.
