Los Alamos Deputy Fire Chief Wendy Servey explained that at approximately 8:17 a.m. today the Los Alamos Fire Department (LAFD) responded to a report of a structure fire at 157 Central Park Square. A fire detection system had alerted dispatch and a sprinkler system activated prior to LAFD’s arrival, she said, adding that within 40 minutes crews had thoroughly ensured there was no fire extension into adjacent businesses or the attic/roof area and reported “loss stopped” as the situation was under control.
Deputy Chief Servey said that Engine Company crews from Station 6 and Station 1 quickly forced entry and contained the fire found in the kitchen area. Due to the quick and coordinated fire attack along with the sprinkler system the fire was quickly controlled with minor to moderate damage to the interior to include smoke damage throughout both businesses. Structural/foundations and roofs/attic spaces appear not to be compromised, she said. Units dispatched to the scene were Battalion 1, Engine 6, Medic 6, Engine 1, Truck 1, Medic 1 and Rescue 1.
The exact cause of the fire is under investigation by fire investigators from LAFD.
