Structure fire results
in $15,000 damage
An abandoned building that once served as an office for the Snug
Harbor mobile-home park, burned to the ground in a Monday evening
fire, Costa Mesa Fire Department officials said.
The 1,000-square-foot building was engulfed in flames when
firefighters got to it at about 6:10 p.m. in the 1600 block of
Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa Fire Battalion Chief Scott Broussard
said.
No one was inside the structure, which was boarded up, he said,
and no other buildings were close to the blazing building. Broussard
estimated that the fire, which took about 10 minutes to put out, cost
about $15,000 in damages.
The cause and origin of the fire are still under investigation, he
said.
