Fire Chief Mike Pirie wrote in a social media post on Thursday that fire crews were called on Tuesday, Oct. 7, to a structure fire in a two-story commercial building on Kingsview Boulevard.
“On arrival, fire crews determined that the sprinkler system, located in a second-floor kitchen area, had activated and extinguished a fire which had been burning in a cooking pan left unattended on a stovetop,” Pirie wrote.
He said there were no staff or customers in the building at the time of the incident.
The department reminded residents to:
Firefighters along with the Campbell Police Department arrived quickly and confirmed all occupants were out of the building and made entry into a classic vehicle repair garage. Crews worked to locate the fire with zero visibility because of smoke conditions and extinguished the fire while keeping it to the unit of origin.
The fire was deemed under control by 7:40am. The cause is under investigation.
A SCCFD spokesperson said successful activation of the building sprinkler system prevented further damage to neighboring businesses.

Firefighters said they responded to St. Mark’s Church on St. Mark’s Church Road, just before 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday in response to a fire alarm.
While on the way to the church, fire units were advised that smoke was coming from vents inside the building. The fire department then upgraded to a structure fire response. Firefighters arrived in just over four minutes from the time of dispatch.
Crews said they then began investigating where the smoke was coming from and worked to evacuate the people inside the church. Firefighters located smoke on the second floor of the building and found the fire began in the kitchen area on that floor.
A sprinkler head had activated and extinguished the fire. The sprinkler system that activated greatly limited the spread and damage of the fire.
Firefighters ensured there was no fire extension and inspected the building for any further damage.
There were no injuries to firefighters or church occupants.

Authorities are investigating the cause of a building fire in Kansas City, Missouri.
Just after 1:30p.m. Thursday, crews responded to a reported building fire in the 500 block of Walnut in the City Market area, according to Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins.. Crews reported light smoke and fire visible on arrival of a three-story commercial mixed-use building.
A small fire had started on the third floor of the structure which houses a dance studio. The third-floor units sprinkler system had activated and held the fire in check until KCFD’s arrival.
Fire crews shut down the sprinkler and began salvage and overhaul operations. No injuries were reported. Power to the entire building was shut off. Several businesses were displaced temporarily until the building can be evaluated.
Firefighters were dispatched shortly after 4:53 p.m. to the 4600 block of Atticus Way after smoke was detected in a lower garage area. Witnesses reported a dumpster on fire.
Bystanders moved the dumpster to a driveway just before crews arrived. Firefighters then applied water to extinguish remaining hot spots. The activated sprinkler had already largely contained the fire.
According to MFD, the sprinkler activation triggered the building’s fire alarm and prompted an evacuation.
Firefighters met with on-site building staff to provide guidance on restoring the sprinkler system and replacing a nearby smoke detector.
Beyond the dumpster, its contents, the affected sprinkler head and a damaged smoke alarm, no other building damage was reported. No injuries were reported.
According to a Monday afternoon update, the fire was contained to a battery room by the sprinkler system and crews stayed on scene through the day to control flare-ups, which can happen when dealing with fires involving batteries.
“This is the fourth incident in the last year at this facility,” Chesterfield Fire and EMS said in a Facebook post.
The first call for a fire at the facility was on Dec. 5. They returned on June 10 and again on Aug. 20, just over two weeks before Monday’s fire.
Chesterfield Fire and EMS noted that fires at data centers are “rare” and that the number of calls does not affect its ability to respond to other emergencies, but the frequency of calls prompted Chesterfield to respond in a statement saying in part:
“The company is actively working with the Chesterfield Fire Marshal’s Office to address the root cause of these incidents and to reduce the risk for future fires.. We are optimistic that proposed improvements at this facility will address the current concerns,” they said.
The fire broke out a little after 5:30 p.m. at the Shepherd Chemical Company. It makes custom metal chemistry products for manufacturers.
Investigators are still determining the cause but said it started in the middle of the building and spread to the roof. The fire was contained by Shepherd’s sprinkler system before agencies arrived at the scene.
Reading, Deer Park-Silverton, St. Bernard, and Little Miami provided mutual aid.
“Every time we get a run to this facility or the next one down, they are chemical companies, and you have this in the back of your mind: ‘This could be a hazmat issue, and we’re concerned about the chemicals.’ But like I said, we work well with these two companies. We train with them,” said Norwood Fire Department Captain Brett Cartuyvelles.
All employees on the second shift got out safely and are back to work. No firefighters were injured.
The Norwood Fire Department will be driving past the plant every 20 minutes to make sure the fire doesn’t rekindle.
