General Mills gold flour recall due to possible E. Coli
GARDEN GROVE An early morning fire destroyed five vehicles and damaged another eight in an apartment carport.
The fire was reported at 5:29 a.m. Tuesday and extinguished by 6.
The apartments themselves, on the 8500 block of Gloria Avenue, suffered exterior damage but flames did not penetrate the buildings, Capt. Thanh Nguyen of the Garden Grove Fire Department said.
Alberto Hernandez, who lives in the apartment complex, said he heard two loud pops.
I looked out the window and saw an orange glow, Hernandez said.
Before Hernandez realized what, exactly, was happening, a neighbor began banging on his door and told him the place was on fire. He saw the flames as they exited the buildings and called the fire department, which told him it already had firefighters en route.
One resident was treated for smoke inhalation on scene, but declined ambulance transport to a hospital, Nguyen said.
Garden Grove fire investigators determined the cause to be mechanical failure of a vehicle. Damage to the structure was estimated at $125,000; while damage to the vehicles was pegged at $100,000.
