Fire broke out at a Fresno business Tuesday morning, causing the sprinkler system to activate.

The fire happened just after 9:00 a.m. at the Aramark Uniform Service facilities near Clovis and Shields.

About 30 employees were evacuated and two were treated for smoke inhalation.

Captain Sean Johnson with the Fresno Fire Department said, "It's a very large facility so we were able to contain it to one machine. We still have to make a determination as to why that machine caught fire."

Ironically, a group of workers were outside when the fire started, taking part in a fire training exercise.
