Feb. 27--MORAGA -- Firefighters made quick work of a blaze in a mechanical room at a Safeway store Tuesday night.
One firefighter suffered a minor injury.
The fire was reported at 7:45 p.m. in a room in the rear of the store at 1355 Moraga Way. A statement from Moraga police said that a generator was the source of the fire.
