A fire broke out this morning on S. Main St. at a Santa Ana discount store

Santa Ana – The OCFA’s emergency command center received multiple calls for a fire in a business located in the 1700 block of S. Main St. shortly before 8:00 AM.

(Editor’s Note – the fire appears to be located at the Oh Tio Discount Store).

Firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the building on their arrival. Due to the conditions, the E74 crew requested a second alarm which brought additional resources.

With a coordinated attack, firefighters kept the fire to the building of origin and prevented it from extending to two adjacent businesses.

Fire investigators are on scene – the cause has not been determined yet. No injuries reported.
