"On Monday, firefighters from the Graton Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 4:48 a.m. inside the popular Chinese restaurant in Sonoma County, according to a Facebook post by the agency. Residents living on the building's second story above the restaurant were safely evacuated through bedroom windows without injury. In its initial report, the fire department shared that it believed the fire could have originated from a charcoal barbecue used the night before, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation."
""Our firefighters made a great stop on the fire, attacking it aggressively and preventing it from spreading to the upstairs where there are 5 rental units or to any other surrounding buildings," Karen Hancock, a spokesperson for the Sonoma County Fire District, told SFGATE via email."
"Images and videos taken by the Press Democrat in the aftermath of the fire indicate substantial damage at BaSo. A video captured by the outlet revealed a destroyed ceiling, blackened interior walls and ash throughout the entire restaurant. Quan told the outlet that "I felt all five stages of grief at once.""
