The fire started shortly before 11 a.m. on the second floor of the two-story, wood-frame and stucco professional building in the 1600 block of West Olive Avenue, Burbank Battalion Chief Mike Davis said.
A woman who had been working in the building was treated at a local hospital for smoke inhalation, but no other injuries were reported, Davis said.
