Update Structure Fire; INC#1860; 12:09AM; 6836 N Lankershim Bl; http://bit.ly/2NBOhGV; North Hollywood; Now, 116 firefighters are assigned to this incident. A 10,614 sq-ft auto body parts business is engulfed in flames. Firefighters initially made interior access, and cut holes in the roof to ventilate the fire. As the blaze continued to grow, firefighters were ordered off the roof and out of the building to assume a defensive posture. Companies continue to attack the fire with heavy streams (aerial ladder pipe, portable monitor, 2-1/2" hand lines, etc), as they evade electrical wires that have come down in front of the building. Fire has spread to an adjacent building and is blowing flames through that roof. There have been no reported injuries or victims; FS 89; Batt 14; Valley Bureau; Council District 2; -Nicholas Prange
