KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire 11/20/2024 INC#1186

Update KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#1186; 03:25PM; 9010 N Tobias Av; https://bit.ly/407wziA; Panorama City; KNOCKDOWN: 44 firefighters (prior to the arrival of additionally requested resources) extinguished the fire in 33 minutes with no injuries reported. Crews contained the fire to one unit on the 2nd floor (of three occupied floors over parking in the combined center-hall / garden style building) but there was heavy smoke on the floor which will likely leave at least the adjacent unit uninhabitable. Firefighters deployed a ground ladder to a unit on the 2nd floor, two units down from the involved unit, to safely assist an occupant down. There are no patients with any medical complaints. The primary and secondary search of the involved unit is clear. Firefighters are working to get keys and physically check each room on the 2nd floor.; FS 7; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 6; BC10 BC12 BC15 CM40 CM42 E275 E290 E298 E39 E75 E90 E98 EM15 EM17 RA7 RA807 RA81 RA90 T75 T90 T98; CH9; 17; Margaret Stewart

Update KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0504; 09:19AM; 550 S Vermont Av; https://bit.ly/491h4Od; Koreatown; KNOCKDOWN: 64 firefighters on scene extinguished fire located in the basement of a 12 story commercial building under renovation in 33 minutes with no injuries reported.
