A massive fire left the roof of a Denny’s restaurant partially collapsed in the City of Commerce early Monday morning.
The blaze was reported shortly after 2 a.m. at the Denny’s located at 7268 E. Gage Ave., A Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesperson confirmed.
Video showed flames burning through the roof of the restaurant, which was open at the time.
A Denny’s employee told KTLA two people were inside at the time of the fire and were able to get out safely.
No customers were in the building and no injuries were reported.
Guests staying at a Best Western Plus located on the same property had to temporarily evacuate the building, including one who said she heard an explosion.
Witness Marie Whiting described the scene.
“There were a lot of big orange flames shooting out the top … It took quite a while for them to get the fire out,” Whitting said.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze shortly before 3:30 a.m.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
