Forestville restaurant Bazaar Sonoma has temporarily closed its doors following an early morning fire that damaged the space.

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.
