Knockdown - Major Emergency Structure Fire; INC#1181; 06:24PM; 1306 N Highland Av; https://bit.ly/3ZamV0o; #Hollywood; It took the combined effort of 124 LAFD Firefighters a little more than two hours in largely defensive firefighting operations to fully extinguish intense flames that destroyed an AutoZone automotive parts store, and caused heavy damage to a pair of adjoining restaurants (Fat Sal's Deli, and Sushi Ajito) in an L-shaped one-story strip mall. No injuries reported. Though initial 9-1-1 callers described an "explosive fire" they believed to have involved a "battery" within the automotive parts store, the specific cause of the fire remains the focus of an active Fire Department investigation. #LATraffic: Full closure of northbound and southbound Highland Avenue between DeLongpre Avenue and Lexington Avenue, as well as a full closure of eastbound and westbound Fountain Avenue at Highland Avenue will continue until LAFD operations are complete. Unknown ETO. Travelers should expect congestion, avoid the area and consider an alternate route. Detours are available.
