According to Qiaobao.com, in the early morning of the 22nd local time, a warehouse of a clothing company in the downtown area of Los Angeles suddenly caught fire, and a large number of firefighters rushed to the scene for rescue. After the fire, all the clothing in the warehouse was burned, but fortunately there were no casualties.
According to a warning notice issued by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, the fire broke out at 5 a.m. in the 1300 block of Margo Street.
The shelves and wooden pallets in the clothing company’s warehouse are combustion-supporting materials, which are the main reasons for the fire and dense smoke. Moreover, these shelves pose a great obstacle to firefighters fighting the fire.
Aerial video showed the roof of the single-story building covered in flames. Firefighters sent to the roof were forced to evacuate at one point, the warning notice said.
Fire Chief Silverman said: “Some parts of the roof were about to collapse, but no one was injured.” He also said that it was the cement building next to the warehouse that prevented the flames from spreading.
As of 8 a.m., firefighters finally had the upper hand, but they still had to continue pouring water into the warehouse, whose roof had collapsed, to extinguish the stubborn fire spots. The fire was extinguished at 8:30, with a total of about 160 firefighters involved in fighting the fire.
