The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf located at the City Place, across from the MainPlace Mall, will be shut down for a while after a fire broke out early this morning, just before 7 a.m.
It was a one alarm fire but at least four OCFA fire trucks showed up.
An employee reoprted that the problem started with an oven that had a big flash, likely an electrical short. A fire started which they put out with a fire extinguisher. However the fire spread inside the adjacent wall, likely in the insulation.
The fire crews used both fire extinguishers and water to quickly extinguish the blaze – which was out by 7:30 a.m.
No injuries were reported.
Property damage is not yet known but likely extensive.
