Damages are being assessed after a late-night fire burned several Merced businesses. The fire chief says crews were called out just after 10 pm on Main Street at H Street as flames spread in three buildings. At least one business is a total loss, with the roof and surrounding walls weakened from the flames. All units from the City of Merced, as well as Merced County fire crews and a local trucking company were on hand to monitor the fire. PG&E was also on scene. There's no word yet on how this fire started.
