The Santa Clara County Fire Department reports its firefighters responded to a report of an outdoor fire at an Apple-leased building near Apple Park in Cupertino, California at approximately 5:30 p.m. local time on Thursday .
The fire occurred outside of a building known as Apple Forge 1, which is located at 18920 to 18922 Forge Drive. One person on social media described the damage as “huge.”
This is probably going to be on the news soon.
There was a fire at Apple Park. Allegedly, an Apple employee was smoking near the fence perimeter, and the cigarette caused the stuff to be on fire and got to the fences; the damage was huge. Apple built the fences just last year.— ShrimpApplePro 🍤 ずっと真夜中でいいのに (@VNchocoTaco) July 24, 2026
However, the photos they shared only show damage to some fencing on the property.
They’re still investigating to find out who did it.
