A second-alarm fire damaged an Irvine seafood market Friday morning, but no one was injured, authorities said.
Thirty-five firefighters knocked down the flames in about 15 minutes, according to a fire official. Fans were set up to blow the smoke out of the store, and county health officials were working to determine if the food products could be sold.
Firefighters sent to Seafood City at 2180 Barranca Parkway around 4 a.m. saw heavy smoke inside the store, said Capt. Larry Kurtz of the Orange County Fire Authority.
No one was inside the business when the fire, which was centered around display freezers, broke out, Kurtz said.
