Commercial Office Building Fire in the 2600 Block of W. El Camino Real

On Sunday, June 1, at 6:53 a.m., a 9-1-1 call was received reporting fire in a single-story office building in the 2600 block of W. El Camino Real.

Fire units were dispatched at 6:53 a.m. and arrived on the scene at 6:58 a.m. Units arrived to find an active fire burning through the roof of an unoccupied single-story commercial building. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames with an aggressive fire attack, preventing the fire from spreading further into the building.

Firefighters performed an extensive overhaul of the building by cutting open the walls and roof to ensure complete extinguishment of the flames. Firefighters used thermal imaging cameras to measure heat behind the walls to ensure the fire did not spread.

The fire was extinguished with no injuries. The Mountain View Police Department provided traffic control for two hours while fire units and equipment were on the scene.

The fire was determined to originate from the exterior of the building and spread through the bottom of the east wall. The cause remains under investigation. The estimated damage to the contents and structure is $500,000. The building was turned over to the building management before fire crews left the scene.
