A structure fire jolted an Echo Park block Sunday evening, prompting a quick response from Los Angeles firefighters after the Los Angeles Fire Department issued an alert for 1333 N Alvarado St. The department’s initial notice named Fire Station 20 as the responding company and included a map along with a link to incident details.
What LAFD posted
According to LAFD, the alert pegged the scene at 1333 N Alvarado St, listed FS20 as the responding unit, and included both a map and a link for more details. The short post did not mention any injuries or a possible cause. The department also took the opportunity to remind residents that emergencies should be reported by calling or texting 911.
Where this fits
The fire arrives in the middle of a packed month for city crews. So far in April, firefighters have already handled about 90 structure fires across Los Angeles, according to recent reporting. Separate coverage by the Los Angeles Times has linked many of the city’s recent blazes to encampments and accidental fires.
