Update Hazardous Materials; INC#0319; 08:07AM; 3062 S Crenshaw Bl; https://bit.ly/3vZujvz; Jefferson Park; Firefighters isolated the area and denied entry, to prevent any further exposure to the public, while the LAFD Hazardous Materials team determined a "green substance" from the barrels to be an industrial detergent (similar to commercial hand soap). There was at least one other substance that remained to be determined. JHAT arrived with more specialized testing equipment, however their tests on a second substance remain inconclusive at this time. The sole patient that was initially exposed to the substances showed no symptoms, but accepted recommended transport to the hospital as a precaution due to the substances that (at the time) had yet to be determined. Thankfully, no evacuations were necessary, and this is now a static situation with no further hazard.; FS 34; Batt 18; South Bureau; Council District 10; BC18 E21 E221 E294 E94 EM11 JT2 RA894 RA94 SQ21 T21 T94; CH7; 12; Nicholas Prange

KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire 10/26/2021 INC#0251

KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0251; 08:02AM; 18711 W Ventura Bl; https://bit.ly/3Co4OXa; Tarzana; **Greater Alarm** Fire spread through the walls, attic, and facade of a one-story strip mall. The main fire unit was on the end (adjacent to Ventura Blvd) and is currently a vacant occupancy. The fire spread to the adjacent unit (Kushiyu restaurant), where firefighters stopped the progress. No other units in the strip mall became involved. Firefighters performed salvage operations inside the restaurant to protect from further damage from smoke and water, while crews above ventilated the roof and fire attack teams deployed hose lines to get water on the fire. Ultimately, it took 93 firefighters 47 minutes to extinguish the flames. There were no reported injuries. LAFD Fire Investigators are en route to perform a fire-cause investigation. LAFD CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers responded to set up hydration for firefighters, as the work is far from over. Crews will remain on scene to perform an overhaul of the burned portions of the building.; FS 93; Batt 17; Valley Bureau; Council District 3; BC10 BC14 BC15 BC17 CE83 CM42 E100 E109 E227 E239 E273 E288 E290 E305 E73 E83 E84 E89 E93 EA1 EM17 HL7 HR3 RA83 RA889 RA89 RA903 RA93 T105 T27 T39 T73 T88 T90 UR88 UR89; CH9; 17 18; Nicholas Prange
