fire in Bonita Springs nail salon

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. A nail salon went up flames Friday morning.

A passerby noticed black smoke coming from inside High Tech Nail Salon on Bonita Beach Road at about 9 a.m. and notified authorities, the Bonita Springs Fire Department said.

Firefighters gained control of the blaze in an hour and prevented flames from affecting the rest of the plaza.

Chung Truong, who owns the nail salon, said he was about to open the store when he felt heat coming from inside.

“When we arrived here we opened the door and all the black smoke go into my face,” Truong said. “I had to run around and then I saw the fire truck coming in.”

Although the cause of the fire is under investigation, it is believed a sterilizer used to clean tools may have sparked the fire, officials said.
