"The footage is quite dramatic, and we hope that these individuals are identified quickly," said KCFD Captain Andrew Freeman.

The fire was fortunately contained to the building's garage, however, smoke damage occurred inside the building and caused property damage to the business.

The business has set up a GoFundMe to assist with the costs to replace a large industrial fan that was destroyed by the suspects' actions.
