Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District firefighters put out an industrial structure fire on the 1000 block of Cindy Lane in Carpinteria Wednesday night.
According to a press release sent out by the district, firefighters responded to the fire – which started in a large, single-story commercial building – around 6:30 p.m.
“Firefighters determined that there were potentially hazardous chemicals on site and requested a hazmat response,” according to the district’s press release. “A sprinkler system helped contain the fire to the center of the structure. A second alarm was called at 7:05 p.m. due to the ongoing hazmat potential.”
The fire was extinguished in 45 minutes. All building occupants were evacuated, and no injuries were reported.
In addition to the Carpinteria-Summerland District, members of Montecito Fire, Ventura County Fire, Santa Barbara City Fire and Santa Barbara County Fire also responded to the scene. Southern California Edison and The Gas Company investigated, and said no utilities were damaged.
