Orange County firefighters battled a three-alarm blaze Tuesday at an electric bicycle company in Laguna Hills for five hours before getting it under control.
The blaze broke out around 1:15 a.m. in the 23000 block of Alcalde Drive and was brought under control at about 6:08 a.m., Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
Firefighters were still on the scene Wednesday night as they overhauled stubborn heat areas in debris piles removed from the building, said Capt. Sean Doran.
A warehouse and offices “sustained significant damage,” Concialdi said.
About 75 firefighters battled the blaze, which was fueled by cardboard boxes containing the bikes, Concialdi said.
No one was injured in the blaze, he added.
The fire caused $1 million in damage to the building and $1 million in damage to the bikes, Concialdi said. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
