Fire damages office in high-rise building
A fire caused about $100,000 in mostly smoke and water damage to a
10-story Newport Beach building early Wednesday morning, officials
said. No one was injured in the 5:10 a.m. blaze.
Firefighters located the fire in an office suite on the ninth
floor of the high-rise building in the 1300 block of Dove Street,
said Donna Boston, public information officer for the Newport Beach
Fire Department.
The building’s sprinklers kept the fire in control, but the water
damaged several floors of the building, Boston said.
Twenty firefighters from Newport Beach and the Orange County Fire
Authority, including a battalion chief from Newport, responded with
four engines and two trucks. Investigators said the fire was
electrical.
