Flames were spotted in Om Oasis yoga studio, on the first floor of the Perez Building on the 400 block of Lighthouse Avenue, shortly after 2:30 p.m. from across the street by passerby Goksal Dilsiz.
Firetrucks arrived within five minutes, and the fire was out five minutes later, said Paul Goodwin, operation division chief for the Monterey Fire Department.
Unlike the recent fire that destroyed a building on Alvrado street, the Perez building had sprinklers.
