Anderson said sprinklers did go off and firefighters were working the structure fire. The warehouse is located at 3837 Bay Lake Trail.
One person was taken to a hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation, but no other injuries were reported, according to Battalion Chief Gary Stover.
The fire is still under investigation, Stover said.
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue says a sprinkler system in the store extinguished the fire in a fryer at a McDonald’s restaurant inside the store.
The fire was reported around 2 p.m. on Oct. 25. The Cannery Casino is located at 2121 East Craig Road, near Lossee Road.
North Las Vegas fire officials said about 50 firefighters responded from North Las Vegas, Las Vegas and Clark County responded to the scene. When crews arrived, they noticed a burning odor inside the property, along with some smoke. There was also a strong electrical burning smell.
The Cannery was evacuated and crews started looking for the cause of the fire. According to fire officials, several hundred people were evacuated. Crews narrowed down the location of the fire to an air handler near the restaurants.
An air handler is used to move heat or air conditioning throughout a building. As air handlers get older, they can collect dust and other build-up, becoming possible fire hazards.
As of 4:30 p.m., North Las Vegas fire officials said investigators were still determining if the air handler was the exact cause of the fire, though “the chances seemed pretty good” that it was a motor in the air handler.

Arson investigators say 32-year-old Idriss Cherifi worked at the Hostel Cat at 1236 S. Las Vegas Boulevard and had been fired earlier in the day for allegedly getting into an altercation with guests.
Firefighters responded to the incident shortly before 4 a.m.
Guests told firefighters a person set fire to the room while four people were sleeping in two bunk beds.
Crews say everyone had evacuated the building and nobody was hurt during the incident.
The fire caused $2,000 damage to personal items and mattresses, but the building was not damaged. Crews say the fire sprinkler system had put most of the fire out.
Cherifi was located by authorities at the Greyhound bus depot downtown and arrested for arson. He had just purchased a ticket and was attempting to leave town, authorities say.
Cherifi is being held at Clark County Detention Center on $20,000 bail.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
LVFR spokesman Tim Szymanski said crews were called to 755 N. Nellis Boulevard at about 6:10 a.m. Aug. 9.
Szymanski said a fire sprinkler quickly put out the fire that started in a restroom at Marketon Supermarket. LVFR crews reported very little damage and no injuries.
The fire activated the sprinkler system which caused water damage to several apartments.
The building was evacuated while crews put out the fire but most residents are back home now.
The cause is still under investigation.
According to Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Eric Guevin, the call came in just about noon on July 9.
Upon the fire department’s arrival, they found the restaurant’s sprinkler system had been activated and took care of the fire and they went into the attic and back of house to do an overhaul to make sure the fire had not spread.
At this time there is no cause determined and it is unknown when they will be able to reopen. Guevin said the damage was contained to the back of the house.
The initial explosion occurred Friday at Argenta Hall while a contractor was working on the boiler that had developed mechanical problems and was shut down earlier in the week, state Fire Marshal Bart Chambers said.
Preliminary information showed the initial blast started a small fire that was extinguished by sprinkler systems.
Chambers said natural gas started leaking from a 3-inch-diameter feeder line to the boiler, but investigators have not yet determined how the gas ignited.
The boiler in question had no history of safety violations or active inspection issues, he said, noting it was last inspected 18 months ago in compliance with state codes mandating checks every two years.
Shannon Ellis, UNR vice president of student services, said students, faculty and staff members were “feeling incredibly grateful that there were no serious injuries and no lives were lost.”
Argenta will remain closed for at least a year, possibly two. Nye Hall, a neighboring dorm damaged by the explosion, will stay closed into the fall, Ellis said.
About 200 students have been displaced and school officials were trying to establish living arrangements for 1,300 students expected for the fall semester
