Electric Car Slams Through Mission Viejo Nail Salon Storefront, Sparking Fire
The driver was hospitalized and no other injuries were reported as fire crews extinguished the blaze and investigated the cause.
- An electric vehicle crashed into a Mission Viejo nail salon on Wednesday, sparking a large fire. Off-duty OCFA Fire Captain Chris Chang immediately rushed into the burning building to ensure all occupants had evacuated safely.
- Bystanders with fire extinguishers knocked down initial flames while Chang pulled the driver from the vehicle. "Fortunately, there were bystanders with fire extinguishers," Chang said, describing their critical assistance.
- Since Chang lacked protective gear or oxygen, nearby firefighters from Engine 12 who were transporting a patient from an unrelated call rerouted to the scene. They teamed up to extinguish the blaze before it spread to the strip mall.
- The driver was transported to the hospital following the crash, which occurred before noon on Alicia Parkway. Authorities reported no other injuries from the incident.
- Orange County Fire Authority officials confirmed the cause of the crash remains under investigation. The rapid response from both bystanders and firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to the rest of the strip mall.
