At about 9:30 a.m. Friday, employees at Z Gallery on the Third Street Promenade called the Santa Monica Fire Department when the store filled with smoke.
Fire officials responded almost immediately with fire engines and hoses, but fortunately there was no fire. The smoke was caused by a faulty air-conditioning unit. There were no damages, and nobody was injured.
The store was able to re-open by 11 a.m.
