KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire 05/29/2023 INC#1135

KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#1135; 06:28PM; 14735 W Bessemer St; https://bit.ly/3ILGALy; #VanNuys; Firefighters arrived to find a one-story commercial building containing an upholstery shop and auto body shop with heavy fire inside. Firefighters mounted a coordinated attack on the fire on the ~8,500 sq-ft building. Firefighters overcame forcible entry challenges, both on the exterior and encountering additional security measures inside, to gain access for hose lines to advance, as other crews ascended ladders to the roof to provide vertical ventilation. Ultimately, it took 40 firefighters 23 minutes to extinguish the flames, which were initially spotted and reported by an LAPD helicopter. No reported injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.; FS 39; Batt 10; Valley Bureau; Council District 6; BC10 BC14 CM40 CM42 E102 E239 E288 E289 E39 E88 E89 JT3 RA839 RA88 T39 T88 T89 UR88; CH8; 17 18; Nicholas Prange
