In the early morning hours, you have to expect a possible advanced fire on arrival in storefront, strip mall, and taxpayer-type fires. Many stores close up for the night in the early morning hours, and a fire behind roll-down security gates can be hidden for hours until it begins to show. Also, many of these occupancies may have grease/kitchen hood ducts or mezzanines that permit rapid fire spread to the cockloft area. Increased security with multiple padlocks of varying styles can also delay your access into the place. There's also the distinct possibility that burglars have entered from the roof level, robbed the store, and set the place on fire to cover their tracks.
