From Times Staff Reports
A malfunctioning microwave ignited a fire at a gas station over the weekend that caused more than $1 million in damage, authorities said Monday.
The fire at a Shell station in the 1200 block of North Rose Drive erupted about 11:20 p.m. Sunday and had consumed most of the building before firefighters arrived, said Capt. Stephen Miller of the Orange County Fire Authority.
The station’s underground gas tanks were not harmed in the blaze and no injuries were reported, Miller said.
