A Los Angeles firefighter was injured when he fell through the floor of an abandoned apartment building that caught fire in Hollywood early Tuesday morning.

The fire was reported just after 2 a.m. at the two-story boarded-up complex in the 7700 block of Hollywood Boulevard.

Heavy fire was showing at the rear of the building, which had already been damaged in previous fires, Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Cody Weireter said.

Plywood on doors and windows made entry difficult for firefighters, who initially took a defensive posture but put out the blaze in a little over 30 minutes.

One firefighter was injured after eventually making his way into the structure.

“We had a firefighter fall through the floor that was conducting a primary search to see if we had any victims inside,” said Weireter, who described the injury as non-life threatening.

No victims were located inside the structure but video from the scene showed a firefighter handing a blanket to a naked man standing in some bushes.

Investigators were later seen talking to the man but his connection to the fire, if any, was unclear.

The cause of the fire remains unknown, but Weireter did say that the blaze is “under active investigation from our arson counter-terrorism section.”

A new trend has taken off, and a high school football team took it literally.

The new trend is called the “B2A challenge,” which stands for “belt to a–.” It became a reality for two programs in the Houston area.

Last Friday, Willis High School wiped the floor with Cleveland High, 77-0 – the game was practically over from the start, with Willis scoring 28 points in the first quarter, and 35 in the second.

When the two teams shook hands after the game, though, as a consistent sign of sportsmanship, one player showed the opposite.

One Willis player was caught on video hitting the rear ends of several of his opponents with the belt, presumably for the B2A challenge.

One Cleveland player could be seen clearly attempting to avoid getting hit.

Several other Willis players were recorded waving belts in the air.

The Willis school district showed no defense of their student-athletes.

“We are deeply disappointed by the unsportsmanlike conduct displayed by some of our football players following last week’s game against Cleveland,’ the Willis Independent School District said in a statement, via the New York Post. “This behavior does not reflect the values of our district, and we are committed to ensuring it does not happen again. We have been in communication with the UL (University Interscholastic League) and have submitted our proposed disciplinary actions for review.”

The district said those involved were suspended for the first half of their next game, “required to complete community service, and have undergone disciplinary measures during football practice.”

“’We do not condone this behavior, and we are actively taking steps to prevent such incidents in the future. We want to express our deepest regrets to the athletes, coaches, parents, and community of Cleveland [Independent School District],” the statement continued.

Thousands of Jewish and Israeli-Americans gathered in prayer Monday, Oct. 7, one year after Hamas terrorists invaded Southern Israel, killing an estimated 1,200 people and taking hundreds more hostage.  

The bloody invasion ultimately ignited the ongoing Israel-Gaza war, which has left upwards of 30,000 Palestinians civilians dead and leveled much of the coastal region.  

Inside Saban Theater, various city and community leaders lit candles for the fallen soldiers, the victims of sexual assault and the thousands murdered in what was the deadliest terror attack in Jewish history.  

One attendee, Miriam Bluman, a local schoolteacher, said she was asked by a student if she was sad that today was Oct. 7.  

“And I’m like, ‘Yes, but I’ve been sad every day since last Oct. 7,’” she explained.  

In Beverly Hills, elected officials, actors and other influencers marked the occasion at exactly 6:29 a.m., the moment that the perpetrators began firing rockets into the Jewish state before besieging a music festival and targeting men, women and children in their homes.  

“October 7 was the most murderous day in Jewish history since the Holocaust,” CEO of the Jewish Federation of L.A. Rabbi Noah Farkas told KTLA. “But we have come together to support each other, to help each other, to grow in strength, to support victims of terror.”  

There was also moving testimony from survivors of the terrible day, from relatives of people murdered during the attack and from first responders who were among the first on the scene.  

In downtown Los Angeles at an IfNotNow rally, lives on both sides of the Middle East conflict were memorialized.  

For Steve Frankel, the evening was about remembering a family friend, Or Moses, who was killed while defending her base.  

“We met her in April 2023 along with about 20 other soldiers,” he said. “She was killed six months later. We’ve become friends with her family since, out of the grief that we have all gone through.”  

Sheilah Miller shared with KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff her personal and familiar mantra on a day like Oct. 7.  

“My father, a very wise rabbi, once told me if there is a substitute for love, it is memory,” she said. “Tonight, we all remember.”
