The fire was knocked down within two hours by first responders from the Anaheim, Orange, and Garden Grove fire departments. Minor flames were still visible at 4:30 a.m. as a mop-up operation continued.
"It was burning extremely hot," said Daron Wyatt, spokesman for Anaheim Fire & Rescue. "At one point we had to evacuate the south side of the building, due to the intense flames and wires coming down. There was also the threat of a wall on the south side of the structure being compromised and coming down."
No injuries were reported.
The warehouse was deemed a total loss. Nearby commercial units sustained minimal smoke damage, fire officials said.
