KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire 02/18/2022 INC#0264

KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0264; 07:24AM; 630 S San Pedro St; https://bit.ly/3LGZL93; Downtown; KNOCKDOWN: Over 100 firefighters extinguished the fire in 43mins. Firefighters made quick progress against fire encountered on the first floor, however the blaze had already extended from the 2nd into the attic. Truck companies on the roof conducted vertical ventilation, getting heavy fire from the holes and venting some of the heat while fire attack made their way up to conduct direct attack on the attic fire. Their coordinated efforts alleviated the need to go to a defensive mode and prevented the total loss of the structure. Preliminary information is this was an outside fire which extended in. However, protocol for a Major Emergency fire calls for LAFD Arson investigators to conduct a cause investigation and they are enroute to do so. No injuries reported. No further details.; FS 9; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; AR1 AR33 BC1 BC11 BC13 BC18 BC5 CM21 CM22 E11 E14 E17 E20 E201 E202 E203 E209 E210 E211 E227 E229 E235 E26 E27 E3 E9 EA1 EA2 EM1 EM11 EM2 HR3 PI1 RA209 RA27 RA809 RA827 RA9 SQ21 T1 T10 T11 T2 T27 T29 T3 T35 T9 UR27 UR88; CH9; 13 14; Margaret Stewart
