An unattended coffee bean roaster sent smoke billowing from the Jet Coffee shop Wednesday afternoon, but there was no fire and no injuries were reported.
Lafayette firefighters responded to an investigation at Jet Coffee, 101 Camino Real Road, for heavy smoke emitting from the business.
When firefighters arrived on scene, heavy smoke was coming from the doors and vents on the roof. Emergency crews entered the business and discovered the smoke coming from a bean roaster. The bean roaster was in an adjacent building space. Crews set up fans to assist in exhausting the smoke from the interior of the building.
Fire officials determined the roaster was left unattended by employees which caused the beans to overheat. There was no fire, just heavy smoke.
