A fire ripped through a restaurant in Fallbrook early Thursday morning, officials confirmed.
The blaze began around 4 a.m. at 127 West Social House, a small eatery located at 127 W. Elder St. Flames could be seen stemming from a section of the business as crews worked to contain the fire.
Soon, the situation was upgraded to a second-alarm commercial fire.
Deputies with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSO) were called to the scene to help with traffic control as firefighters battled the blaze.
By 6 a.m., officials said the fire was fully contained.
The cause is under investigation. No injuries were reported.
127 West Social House celebrated its one-year anniversary this past January. The restaurant is housed in a historical structure that dates back more than 130 years. It was built in 1884 and is one of the oldest buildings in Fallbrook.
