STOCKTON, CA (CBS13) – Firefighters in Stockton are responding to a 4-alarm fire at a school district building.

The fire is burning at the Lincoln Unified School District maintenance building at 3225 Deer Park Lane. A district employee says he was leaving work when he saw smoke coming out of a maintenance storage building.

The fire has been contained.

“Right now we’re calling it contained because there’s a lot of hidden and voided areas in this building. We’re going to make sure we stay here long enough to make sure it’s completely extinguished, that we spend through all aspects of this building, performing a very thorough search, and making sure there are no unknowns left when we leave here,” said Stockton Fire Department spokesperson Ken Johnson.

Firefighters are working to determine the cause of the fire.

One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion.
