Fire Destroys Newhall Refinery Restaurant, Spreads to Multiple Businesses

An arson investigation is underway amidst the rubble for evidence that may pinpoint the cause of the fire.

Crews have knocked down the fire and are using an excavator to break apart debris and reach hot spots.

The city of Santa Clarita announced several street closures, including Main Street, Sixth Street, Eighth Street, Railroad Avenue, and Newhall Avenue, and asked people to avoid the area and use alternate routes, according to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal.

Fire officials estimated that five to seven businesses were on fire, per KTLA. The damaged businesses included the Newhall Refinery, The MAIN theater, Care Tucker Style House, Gary's Auto Collision Center, a dental office, and a nearby kitchen and grill, according to Hometown Station. No injuries were reported and the cause remains under investigation.

More than 100 firefighters worked the scene, and crews moved to a defensive attack, fighting the flames from aerial ladders and the ground once conditions inside grew too dangerous, according to KTLA. Part of the roof collapsed in at least one spot as the fire kept burning past 7 a.m.

A second alarm was called at 3:07 a.m. and a third at 4:42 a.m., per City News Service, citing fire department PIO Keith Navarre.

Crews were called to the 24000 block of North Main Street at about 2:55 a.m. for a fire at a commercial area in the Newhall district, according to City News Service, citing LACoFD spokeswoman Pauline McGee.
