Commercial Fire, Smoke Visible From 5 Freeway In Anaheim

ANAHEIM, CA — Traffic on Lincoln Avenue halted while Anaheim Firefighters worked a blaze at a commercial business, Tuesday.

Multiple vehicles, parked in a shed adjacent to a tire store, ignited for unknown reasons and sent a thick plume of smoke into the sky over Anaheim.

Fire crews managed to douse the flames in about an hour, and there were no injuries, according to officials.

The fire broke out just before 1:15 p.m. at the 1600 block of W. Lincoln Ave., said Anaheim police Sgt. Daron Wyatt.

Wyatt said the fire also burned some tires and may have spread to some mattresses in a neighboring store.

It was unclear what sparked the blaze, as of this report. Lincoln Avenue was closed between the Santa Ana (5) Freeway and Euclid Street due to the fire.
