On Monday, Oct. 6, at 7:02am, Santa Clara County 9-1-1 Communications received a citizen report of smoke coming from the bottom of a commercial roll-up garage door at a building on the 1330 block of Dell Avenue in Campbell.
Firefighters along with the Campbell Police Department arrived quickly and confirmed all occupants were out of the building and made entry into a classic vehicle repair garage. Crews worked to locate the fire with zero visibility because of smoke conditions and extinguished the fire while keeping it to the unit of origin.
The fire was deemed under control by 7:40am. The cause is under investigation.
A SCCFD spokesperson said successful activation of the building sprinkler system prevented further damage to neighboring businesses.
The spokesperson added that fire suppression systems are a critical safety element in commercial buildings, allowing firefighters to work safely and efficiently while helping minimize the spread of the fire.
