LAFD battles major downtown fire
More than 80 firefighters battled a “major emergency” fire Thursday at a commercial building in downtown Los Angeles.
Crews responded around 1:12 p.m. to the 200 block of Winston Street, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.
By 2:04 p.m., the fire was declared a “major emergency” as more than 80 firefighters took a defensive stance while the flames spread to a nearby building, Steward said.
“Due to heavy storage load, firefighters were not able to reach the seat of the fire,” Stewart said in a statement.
Officials urged residents to steer clear of the area as crews worked to contain the stubborn blaze.
