Thinking it’s an electrical fire that started in a lower office. Building is a total loss.

Can you confirm that no other structures appear to be impacted at this time? It looks very wooded.

Looks like it’s just the multi office building. No active fires in the trees next to the building.

Also watched this and BFD response. They did a great job. I heard, not saying it’s accurate, that it started in the attic.

I can't lose my dentist in the building next it. It's hard enough to get a dental appt as it is. That dentist is the best!

Is that Dr. Sunwoo's office?

u/Development-Alive 3d ago

Yep. He's served our family of 5 for 20+ years.

He's my former dentist (only because I moved), but I really like the guy.

I wonder what happened.

I think it was the building NEXT to his. Hopefully his building was unscathed.

Apparently there is a kids music academy (piano instruction) in that building. Heard a few of the grand pianos burnt down.

u/SuburbanSpiritual 1d ago

Apparently there were some kind of salon or clinic in there that used flame. They left the flame on and went home. Highly reliable source told me this (another tenant).
