Fire Damages Silicon Valley Commercial Building

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA -- A fire early Tuesday morning in a Sunnyvale commercial building near U.S. Highway 101 and the Lawrence Expressway caused significant damage to two suites in the building, public safety officials said.

At 3:24 a.m., Sunnyvale public safety crews were dispatched to 550 Lakeside Drive where suite 3 was on fire. When crews arrived, they tried to enter the suite but couldn't because of smoke, Battalion Chief Craig Anderson said.

Crews started a defensive attack and after about an hour, they had the fire extinguished, Anderson said.

Two suites sustained fire, smoke and water damage while four or five more suites sustained smoke and water damage.

Nobody was injured. The fire does not appear to be a case of arson, Anderson said.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Just the one building was damaged.
