Structure Fire - Now Out; INC#1905; 11:19PM; 13838 W Ventura Blvd; https://bit.ly/490sG3u; #ShermanOaks; 49 LAFD Firefighters took just 23 minutes (11:42 PM) to extinguish an outside fire that extended into and heavily involved a 3,000 square foot one-story floral shop within a block-long row of commercial structures. The well-coordinated firefight prevented fire damage to adjacent buildings. No injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is considered suspicious - and was among a handful of rubbish/debris/vegetation fires that occurred in the general area at the time of the fire. The other fires were quickly extinguished by LAFD responders, before they could cause structural damage or injury. A team of LAFD Investigators is actively investigating the fires.; FS 78; Batt 14; Valley Bureau; Council District 4; AR1 BC10 BC14 CM40 CM42 E102 E108 E239 E278 E288 E88 E99 EM14 RA78 RA878 SO1 T39 T78 T88; CH9; 17; Brian Humphrey
