Crews Stop Flames From Modesto Convenience Store Fire From Spreading To Apartments
MODESTO (CBS13) — Firefighters doused a two-alarm fire at a Modesto convenience store early Tuesday morning before it could get to a nearby apartment building.
Modesto Fire says crews responded to the scene along the 200 block of H Street a little after 4 a.m. A single-story convenience store was on fire, crews reported, with the smoke and flames coming from the back of the building.
Flames were getting close to a large two-story apartment building nearby, prompting the structure to be evacuated as a precaution.
A second-alarm was then called. Firefighters were able to get the flames under control before they could spread beyond the rear of the store.
No injuries were reported, firefighters say.
