Raytheon facility catches fire
Santa Barbara County firefighters extinguished a structure fire at one of Goleta’s Raytheon facilities April 20. No one was injured in the blaze that caused $100,000 worth of damage to the building and equipment. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
According to a report from fire Capt. David Sadecki, a department spokesman, four engines and a ladder truck, as well as an engine from the Santa Barbara Fire Department, arrived at Building B of the Raytheon complex to find smoke pouring from a large, single-story commercial building. The fire, held in check by the building’s automatic sprinkler system, was contained to the room where it started.
