KNOCKDOWN Tree/Structure Fire 03/25/2022 INC#1352

KNOCKDOWN Tree/Structure Fire; INC#1352; 06:54PM; WB 60 Tr x NB Golden State Fwy; https://bit.ly/3uqTo21; Boyle Heights; Approximately 60 palm trees caught fire adjacent to the 60 Freeway. Thankfully, the sound wall protected many nearby properties from most of the danger, but flames managed to hurdle the wall in one place and burned 5 autos, a detached garage, and (very minor damage to) a single-family home. Thirty-eight firefighters extinguished all aspects of this dynamic incident in approximately 44 minutes, without injury. The cause of the fire is under investigation.; FS 25; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; BC1 BC11 E1 E10 E16 E17 E2 E201 E202 E211 E25 E3 E44 E47 RA17 RA25 T1 T11 T2 T9; CH7; 15; Nicholas Prange
