Early yesterday morning, a blaze erupted in a single-story strip mall, prompting an urgent response from the SMC Fire Department. According to the San Mateo County Fire Department, the two-alarm fire was met with swift action from fire crews on the ground and truck companies positioned on the rooftop.
Their coordinated efforts successfully confined most of the fire to the business where it originated. The adjacent units suffered only minimal damage due to the extension of the fire. As a further testament to the situation's rapid response and adept handling, the San Mateo County Fire Department noted, "No injuries were reported."
The post also mentioned that SMC Fire Investigators and crews stayed on the scene through the morning to determine the cause of the fire and provide a fire watch—a standard precautionary measure to ensure any potential flare-ups are quickly dealt with.
