Commercial building fire sends thick plume of smoke over downtown L.A. during morning commute
Firefighters battled a blaze at a commercial building in downtown Los Angeles early Tuesday morning.
The Los Angeles Fire Department put out an alert indicating the fire was reported at 7:40 a.m. at a two-story building located at 1426 South Paloma Street near East 14th Street.
A large plume of black smoke was seen rising into the morning sky as commuters made their way through the downtown area, footage from the Citizen App showed.
By the time Sky5 arrived at the scene, firefighters had gotten a hold of the situation; however, the flames appeared to have damaged a boat and a food truck parked outside the structure as well as two vehicles parked on the adjacent street.
The building itself, said to house a flooring company, did not appear to sustain any significant damage.
It took under 30 minutes for crews to knock down the flames, and it was not immediately known if anyone was injured in the incident.
The cause of the blaze is not known, and crews will remain on scene to conduct overhaul operations.
