Knockdown - #NaomiFire Greater Alarm Structure Fire; INC#1482; 10:03PM; 1376 E 18th St; https://bit.ly/3yiXngU; Downtown; Despite heavy fire, structural compromise and collapse, as well as arcing and fallen high voltage power lines, 116 LAFD Firefighters took just 2 hours and 16 minutes in defensive operations to contain and fully extinguish fire in a vacant 7,151 square-foot two-story church, built in 1903. There have been no injuries. LAFD personnel will remain at scene into the morning hours to abate hazards, further extinguish smoldering debris and support the 'still active' fire cause investigation. The structure, which in recent months housed the Christian Light Missionary Baptist Church, did not appear to be actively serving as a house of worship at the time of fire. Metro Los Angeles A (Blue) Line light rail service along Washington Boulevard between Central Avenue and Hooper Avenue will resume as soon as it is safe to do so.
