At 4:11pm the LAFD responded to 1603 S. San Pedro St in downtown Los Angeles to find heavy smoke showing from a large one-story vacant commercial building. The well involved 200' x 100' building experienced structural collapse 15 minutes into the firefight.
It took 134 LAFD personnel using a well-coordinated combination of offensive and defensive tactics, just 66 minutes to fully extinguish the unoccupied commercial building, that was housing filming or training props. There was No injury. No evacuation. No other structures damaged. This cause of this Major Emergency Structure fire is under active investigation.
