Fire flares up at South Los Angeles commercial building; crews expected to monitor hot spots for several days
SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Firefighters on Tuesday battled a stubborn flare-up at a massive commercial building in South Los Angeles that erupted in flames the day before, and officials say they'll need to monitor the scene for several days.
The sprawling structure, which store industrial flooring supplies, was engulfed by fire early Monday morning near the intersection of Alameda and East 55th streets.
Los Angeles firefighters got the flames under control after more than four hours, but the fire was still smoldering in and around all the hardwood, cork material and wood pallets on the property.
"It's a complex of buildings that are all intertwined internally through passageways for like forklifts… so that was a concern that this thing could possibly reignite," said Asst. Chief Carlos Calvillo.
