Video from the scene showed crews and officers moving through the property and documenting the damage. Glass could be seen on the ground in front of the oral surgery office, while shingles were hanging from the edge of the roof. Black ash was also visible along the side of the building.<\/p>\n
The damage extended to the Starbucks across the parking lot.<\/p>\n
A heavy metal door from the oral surgery building was blown off and ended up in the Starbucks patio area, where the railing was damaged. Several parking and pickup signs were also damaged. Crews were seen cleaning up around the Starbucks.<\/p>\n
John Oster, a patient at the oral surgery office, came to the scene after seeing the fire reported on the news. Oster said he had an appointment scheduled for Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no idea anything like this would happen,\u201d Oster said.<\/p>\n
Oster said he had only recently started coming to the office and had not yet met the owners or dentist personally. He said a friend\u2019s wife works at the office.<\/p>\n
Oster said he was surprised by the extent of the damage after initially seeing pictures from farther away.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure. Looking at the pictures, I couldn\u2019t really tell all of this was going on,\u201d Oster said.<\/p>\n
Oster said he plans to return once the office is repaired.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then I\u2019ll eventually go back when they get it fixed, I suppose,\u201d Oster said.<\/p>\n
He also expressed sympathy for those connected to the business.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just really sorry to hear about all of this,\u201d Oster said.<\/p>\n
The fire also affected the neighboring Starbucks, which did not have exterior surveillance cameras available, according to the business.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A fire damaged a Jacksonville oral surgery office early Friday, sending debris into a nearby Starbucks patio as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-375786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
