“This goes to show the importance a working fire protection system,” Battalion Chief Wes McGee said in a statement.
The fire was reported shortly after 8 p.m. at the building on Ocean Ranch Boulevard near Maritime Way. After fire officials arrived, they assigned three more fire engines and a ladder truck to the commercial fire, with a total of 18 firefighters responding.
Items inside the business caught fire, McGee said, but the structure itself did not burn.
A damage estimate was not available, but officials said the items that caught fire included a pile of some kind of rags.
According to Google, the business at that address is a store that sells uniforms.
The department was still investigating the cause of the fire. No injuries were reported.
