Fire Guts LA Commercial Building

Fire tore through a large commercial textile business in downtown Los Angeles early on November 26, just hours after another massive blaze torched the building earlier that week.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the fire appeared to have started as a large outdoor fire which spread to the building.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a call of a fire at a 2-story commercial building in the 4800 block of South Alameda Street in the Central-Alameda neighborhood a little after 7:45 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 25.

The fire caused the roof of one of the buildings to collapse, LAFD said. More than 150 firefighters worked to take down the large fire.

Fire investigators were working to determine if the fire was related to a fire at the same location earlier that week.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
