Buena Park : Tile Store Damaged by Fire Blamed on Short
A fire, apparently sparked by an electrical short, caused $23,000 damage to a tile store, a Fire Department spokesman said Thursday.
The blaze at Color Tile, 5451 Beach Blvd., occurred shortly after 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and appears to have started in an electrical panel at the rear of the store, fire dispatcher Helen Laliberti said.
The fire caused $18,000 damage to the store’s contents and $5,000 to the structure, she said. The store and an adjacent delicatessen remained closed Thursday while the power was shut off for repairs, Laliberti said.
One firefighter suffered minor burns fighting the blaze, she said. Fullerton and Los Angeles County firefighters assisted.
