VIDEO: Fire forces evacuation of 91原创 City residential-commercial building

No injuries reported in Saturday afternoon blaze

No injuries were suffered as a result of a Saturday afternoon fire that forced evacuation of a 91原创 City multiple unit residential and commercial building in the 5500-block of 203rd Street, but occupants of three suites had to find other, temporary accommodation.

91原创 City Fire Rescue deputy fire chief Scott Kennedy told the 91原创 Advance Times crews responded to the call around 3 p.m. Saturday, June 5 and arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the balcony of a third floor suite overlooking the parking lot in the rear of the building.

Kennedy said the building sprinkler system had activated, and crews were able to knock the flames down quickly, then entered the building to completely extinguish the fire.

The first floor of the building is occupied by businesses, while the upper three are residential.

91原创 Emergency Service workers did respond to assist residents displaced from the 鈥渦n-occupiable鈥 suites, but it appeared they were able to make their own arrangements, Kennedy said.

Cause of the blaze is under investigation.
