Firefighters from the Susanville City Fire Department made quick work of a fire on the roof of the Panda Express restaurant at the corner of Rob’s Way and Main Street Saturday afternoon.
Crews were dispatched to the commercial structure fire at around 3:45p.m., arriving to find flames coming from the roof of the building, with heavy smoke throughout the restaurant.
“After confirming that all occupants were out the building, the utilities were secured and access was made to the roof with a hose line,” explains SFD Captain Leon Myers.
The blaze was extinguished, and crews began to overhaul the area to search for extension of the fire.
According to Myers damage was contained to a single roof ventilator, ventilation duct and the area of the roof near the roof ventilator.
Joining the City Fire Department at the scene were one Cal-FIRE engine, one Susan River engine, the Susanville Police Department, the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol and Lassen Municipal Utility District.
