Los Angeles church fire forces firefighters into defensive mode
A large church fire in Los Angeles had firefighters operating in defensive mode Monday morning.
The fire was reported at Greater New Holy Trinity Church in the 10800 block of South Broadway in the Broadway-Manchester neighborhood around 5:10 a.m.
Flames were showing on the roof of the church when firefighters arrived, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Units are operating in the defensive mode,” the department said.
When firefighters shift to defensive mode, they remain outside the structure because conditions inside are considered too dangerous or unstable.
