KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0239; 05:34AM; 500 W Manchester Av; https://bit.ly/3B3j35P; #VermontVista; *Corrected Address* LAFD arrived to find a 3,600 sq-ft commercial building erected in 1986 with heavy fire showing. Firefighters engaged in defensive operations, setting up ladder pipes and exterior hose lines, and established a "collapse zone" around the building (in case walls fell outward). There was, indeed, a collapse. Three firefighters were injured from debris that flew beyond the established collapse zone. Thankfully, two firefighters were evaluated and returned to work on the fire line. One firefighter, with a non-life threatening injury, was transported to the hospital for evaluation. It took 89 firefighters 42 minutes to extinguish the flames. LAFD Heavy Equipment is responding to assist with moving debris and locating smoldering materials underneath. The cause of the fire is under active investigation. ; FS 57; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 8; AR1 BC1 BC11 BC13 BC18 BC4 CM20 CM22 E10 E15 E205 E21 E210 E215 E221 E233 E264 E266 E33 E5 E57 E64 E66 EA1 EM1 EM11 EM13 HE1 HR3 RA257 RA264 RA5 RA57 RA857 SQ21 T10 T15 T21 T33 T5 T64 T66 UR5 UR88; CH7; 13 14; Nicholas Prange
