Officials logged it as an "outside city" auto aid at Target
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department alerts page, the call was recorded as Structure Fire, Auto Aid (INC#1591) at about 7:44 p.m., with 6000 Sepulveda Blvd listed as the address. The log notes that LAFD units were sent to assist the Culver City Fire Department at a Target store and that 23 Los Angeles City firefighters were on scene in offensive firefighting mode, with Fire Station 67 and Battalion 4 among the assigned units.
Where it happened
6000 Sepulveda Blvd is the address of Westfield Culver City, which lists Target as one of its anchor stores, according to Westfield. Large retail anchors like Target often draw multi agency responses when fires are reported, which helps explain why LAFD responded on auto aid inside Culver City.

The public alerts did not include any word on injuries, the extent of property damage, or a possible ignition source, and no additional operational details were available at the time of the notice. We will continue to watch official channels and update this story if the Culver City Fire Department, mall management, or LAFD release more information.
