Mary Alice Reporting –

Sunday there was a small fire in the front office area at ProVia’s Walnut Creek Facility.

The company released a statement noting that the blaze had set off the fire alarms which deployed several local fire departments, but the fire was not sizeable enough to set off the sprinklers, and the emergency crews were able to quickly put out the fire using fire extinguishers.

The cause of the blaze is still being determined.

ProVia notes that there is extensive smoke damage in the front office, which is being addressed immediately by remediation professionals. No manufacturing areas were affected.
