The Easy Reader has posted a video of the fast-moving fire that destroyed the office of a prominent dentist and caused extensive damage to at least three other businesses in downtown Manhattan Beach. The blaze broke out Saturday around 9:40 p.m. and the Manhattan Beach Fire Department put it out in about 10 minutes.
The building appeared to be vacant at the time of the fire, and there were no reported injuries. Damage is estimated to be around $1 million.
An investigation into the fire's cause is expected to be completed in several days.
The video was played Tuesday at the Manhattan Beach City Council meeting and the audience broke out into applause as a show of thanks for the quick-acting firefighters who doused the blaze.
