The building was evacuated and the sprinkler system knocked down a lot of the fire, said SAFD spokesman Joe Arrington. Crews were able to quickly extinguish the rest of the fire and made sure there wasn’t any extension, though they dealt with heavy smoke, he said.
A second alarm was called to get more personnel to the scene to help clear the smoke, Arrington said.
No injuries were reported.
