Fire Contained At Chevron In Gilroy

Firefighters quickly extinguished a two-alarm fire in the storage room of a Gilroy gas station this morning, a fire division chief said.

Around 10:45 a.m., the city’s communications center received a report of a fire at a Chevron gas station at 7000 Monterey St., Gilroy fire division Chief Mary Gutierrez said. Firefighters arrived to the station and extinguished the blaze by about 11 a.m. with no injuries reported, Gutierrez said.

It appears the fire started in the back storage room, which sustained moderate damage, but did not extend into the main section of the store, where two employees were working, Gutierrez said.

The gas station will remain closed until the fire investigation is completed, the damage is repaired and a building inspector deems the structure safe, she said. Gas and electrical services to the building were turned off, Gutierrez said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
