Fire destroys Escondido magic store and sandwich shop
ESCONDIDO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Two North County small businesses were destroyed in a fire Saturday evening.
Firefighters responded to calls for a fire at a business on 310 North Andreasen Drive in Escondido at 6:07 p.m. Saturday.
When fire crews arrived on the scene, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from a building that houses several businesses, and called for additional units, a public information officer from the Escondido Fire Department said.
Two businesses were destroyed in the fire — Magic Shop San Diego and Eric’s Sandwich Shop — and the roof of the structure collapsed. However, the fire was able to be stopped from spreading to other nearby businesses by a fire wall, the Escondido Fire Department confirmed.
There are no reports of any injuries. A fire inspector is at the scene looking into the cause of the fire.
North Andreasen Drive in Escondido was closed to traffic for a few hours.
