“The fire extended fully into the attic and required a closely coordinated interior fire attack with truck companies on the roof conducting vertical ventilation,” LAFD said.
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) confirmed to fire officials that there was no impact on airport traffic or safety.
No one was injured, LAFD said. What caused the fire is under investigation.
