LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — A fire ripped through a one-story warehouse in South Los Angeles on Sunday night.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said the blaze started around 1 a.m. on the 5000 block of Alameda Street.
The LAFD received reports of smoke coming from a one-story warehouse, and by the time firefighters arrived, the building was completely engulfed in flames. The fire quickly spread to nearby buildings.
Fire officials said the buildings are all part of a hardwood flooring supply company.
More than 150 firefighters were dispatched to the scene with several ladder trucks and heavy equipment. It took crews more than four hours to knock down the fire.
