Entry was achieved through both the roof and a forcible breach on the ground level, as firefighters tackled the fire and pressurized smoke found billowing in the attic space of the commercial structure. "Crews made access both via the roof and via forcible entry on ground level," reported the LAFD statement.
After successfully dousing the flames, fire companies continued with overhaul, and, salvage operations to prevent any smoldering remains from reigniting. The origin of the fire remains uncertain, pending further investigation, as per the LAFD.
