FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Crews are working to clear the smoke after a fire started Wednesday morning in an underground parking garage in Downtown Fresno.<\/p>\n

The call came in just after 9 o’clock this morning about a fire on Van Ness near Tulare Street below the old Club One Casino and Radisson Hotel.<\/p>\n

Fire crews say a sprinkler head kept the fire contained to one car, which was a regular gas-powered car, not electric.<\/p>\n

The parking garage filled with smoke, however, there were no evacuation orders in place because the building above is vacant.<\/p>\n

However, a nearby office building, the Fresno Council of Governments, had to be evacuated. About two dozen people there had to leave their offices.<\/p>\n

The Fresno Fire Department called in their mobile ventilation unit to help clear out the smoke.<\/p>\n

No one was injured but the parking garage is closed for now.<\/p>\n
