E4 arrived on scene and met face to face with Higuera IC (BC3) and was given
assignment of fire attack. A key card was handed to E4 Captain to access locked
doors in the structure. E4 Captain had E4 FF pull a 2 1/2" to the glass door
entrance for a wye line operation. E4 operator worked on getting a supply line at
the closest hydrant on Higuera with the aid of E3 Engineer and CalFire BC.
E4 Captain requested E3 to assist with grabbing both wye lines while E4 entered
the main entrance to find access to the fire. The main open area on the west side
of the building where all the cubicles were located was all clear with slight haze. As
E4 Captain turned the corner, he noticed water on the ground from what appeared
to be an active sprinkler on the other side of the wall and backtracked to a locked
door. The key card was used to open the door and E4 was met with dark grey
smoke banked all the way to the floor. There was zero visibility and TIC was used to
assist in finding the seat of the fire. E4 and E3 made access in the room to locate
the fire. Locating the fire was challenging due to zero visibility and glass walls
making it challenging for the TIC to identify the fires location. As the two crews
progressed further into room, the temperature was increasing indicating we were
close to the seat of the fire. E4 eventually found the seat as the glass panes broke
and the TIC was able to identify its location. E4 was able to knockdown the fire and
E3 extinguished the fire as E4 had to back out due to low air warning.
E4 personnel was deconed several times after initial entry and subsequent entries
for salvage and lithium iron battery cleanup.
T1 arrived at scene and was given the assignment for vertical ventilation by BC3.
T1 set up aerial for roof access on the alpha side. T1 also threw a 35' ground ladder
on side alpha.
T1 was staffed with six personnel, two from medic rescue. Four of the six
personnel access the roof via the aerial and the remaining two crew MR1 members
stayed on the ground for support, adding and assisting with ground ladder
locations and rehab.
T1 made access to roof, roof was a saw tooth design construction.
T1 ladder was placed at the exterior wall and the high point of the saw tooth
design.
T1 crew utilized a 14' roof ladder to assist in descending to a safe location at the
bottom of the 8/12 pitched roof (roof was approx. 26'-30' long from top to
bottom).
T1 was notified of BC 3405 would be Roof Division.
Roof construction was 29-gauge metal, rib style roof with 1/2"-5/8" plywood
sheeting with approx. 20" TJI roof rafters with a 2' on center span.
Top half of metal roof was covered in a thin layer of moss making it very slippery.
T1 Captain and crew made our way near the South end (towards marketplace) of
the roof.
T1 requested a 24' ground ladder to be utilized as a roof ladder, from bottom of
saw tooth to top.
T1 cut an inspection hole to see construction material.
T1 fully extended 24' ladder. T1 crew cut multiple 4x4 holes and extended the
holes vertical as we made our way down the ladder.
T1 face to face with T2 Captain requesting another 24' ladder for egress on side
Alpha.
T1's crew bottles ran low, exited the roof for bottle exchange.
T1 returned to roof and extended vertical holes laterally.
BC 3405 Roof Division was reassigned and T1 assumed Roof Division.
T1 completed assignment and reported to med unit for EMS vitals evaluation.
T-2 arrived and was assigned 2 out. T-2 was setting up at the entry point and was
reassigned to RIC. FF-2 and PUMP-2 cached out the RIC complement near the entry
point. T-2 coordinated cutting access for an additional ladder to the Alpha side,
gaining access points around the building and tracking resources. T-2 also assisted
with rehab setup. T-2 was released for city coverage.

SYNOPSIS
This report documents the investigation into the origin and cause of a commercial
building fire that involved a lithium battery thermal runaway.
SOURCE OF ACTIVITY
On January 12, 2026, at approximately 0824, San Luis Obispo County Dispatch
received a 911 emergency call reporting smoke and flames seen at 3825 South
Higuera, San Luis Obispo, CA. 93401 in San Luis Obispo County.
At approximately 0825 hours, while working my regular schedule as the SLO Fire
Department (SLOFD) Fire Marshal (PREV20), I responded code 3 from my office at
SLOFD Station 1, 2160 Santa Barbara Ave., San Luis Obispo, CA. I arrived at the fire
scene at approximately 0838 hours and cleared it at approximately 1730 hours.
OBSERVATIONS/ACTIONS
Upon my arrival, I observed Battalion 3 (BC3), Truck 1 (T1), Engine 4 (E4), and
Engine 3 (E3) entering the 10,000-square-foot commercial structure to begin a fire
attack and ladder the roof for ventilation.
I observed faint smoke coming from the southeast (A-D corner) of the building. I
reported to the Higuera IC and was originally assigned to Safety; my role later
changed to Medical Group Supervisor. I conducted a 360-degree building
inspection and spoke with representatives from the ESAero business to confirm
that no one had medical needs. No medial needs were requested. I then walked to
nearby businesses and asked them to remain inside and turn off the HVAC due to
smoke drifting southeast from the building.
I contacted an SLO PD officer and asked whether we could expand the safety zone
to keep people out of harm's way from the smoke. SLO PD officers assisted in
expanding the perimeter. I then contacted the standby ambulance and confirmed
they were on the Tac 1 radio channel. I assisted in setting up a rehab location with
all necessary supplies.
After suppression efforts were effective, I was then assigned to the Fire
Investigations lead.
My investigation report is available in the Image Trend Fire Investigation reporting
system for further details.
INVESTIGATION
My investigation actions and findings are based on a scientific examination of the
fire's origin and cause.
Methodology
The methodology I utilized during this investigation consisted of identifying all
available data for origin determination, including witness accounts, an initial scene
assessment, development of a preliminary fire spread hypothesis, an in-depth
examination of the fire scene, reconstruction of the fire scene, development of a
final fire spread hypothesis, and identification of the fire’s origin.
I identified all available data for cause determination, including ignition sources,
fuel packages, oxidizers, and circumstances. I used all available resources to
develop fire-cause hypotheses and determine which best fit the credible data to
identify the cause of this fire.
During my investigation, I obtained witness statements. I conducted the interviews
in full uniform. The following is a summary of the statements I collected.
Systematic Approach
I began my investigation by systematically walking through the fire scene, from
exterior to interior, and gathering all available data to determine where and how
the fire started.
