SOUTH SACRAMENTO, CA - Crews battled a 2-alarm fire at a Sacramento dental office Tuesday night.

Sacramento City Firefighters responded to the Western Dental Office at 4401 Florin Road after receiving multiple calls around 8:40 p.m.

Heavy smoke and flames were visible from the building.

A firefighter partially fell thru the roof, and fortunately was not injured.

It's unclear what started the fire, but investigators believe the fire is not suspicious.

It took crews around nearly 20 minutes to extinguish the fire.

Sacramento Metro Fire successfully gave a live fire demonstration on the dangers and proper extinguishing techniques for a stovetop grease fire today.

The second photo shows a glass of water, attached to a stick, pouring water onto the fire and the fire explosively grows. Officials started a grease fire inside of the Rancho Cordova Inn, about to be demolished.
