Crews contained a three-alarm structure fire in Berkeley early Wednesday morning that damaged at least two businesses inside a warehouse, according to the Berkeley Fire Department.
The fire ignited at about 2:40 a.m. and ripped through a building in the 700 block of Heinz Avenue, fire officials said.
Video footage from the scene shows flames engulfing a building and crews from the Berkeley Fire Department working to contain the blaze.
No injuries were immediately reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation, fire officials said.
A man with three dogs living in a van parked nearby narrowly escaped the fire when a passerby alerted him. He said the blaze could be connected to a homeless camp at outside the rear of the building.
No other details were immediately available.
