Earlier today, there was a forced evacuation of a restaurant on Towne Centre Drive in Lake Forest.
The Orange County Fire Authority's Facebook post confirmed the exterior of the eatery was ablaze, flames engulfed the electrical panel, and propane tanks risked overheating. Responding firefighters quickly contained the fire within nine minutes, preventing it from spreading to the interior.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under active investigation.
