Structure Fire KNOCKDOWN 11/02/2019 INC#0146

Structure Fire KNOCKDOWN; INC#0146; 02:33AM; 710 S Broadway St; http://bit.ly/36BasFQ; Downtown; 36 firefighters were given an inexact location of a fire that stayed concealed while they searched multiple floors of multiple buildings before getting eyes on the problem on the 6th floor of an apartment building (built in 1909). Once the firefighters found the heat source, they quickly "drop bagged" a hose line (pulled the hose up from the ground up through a balcony/fire escape with a rope), and extinguished a small amount of fire (beams/joists appeared to be smoldering for several hours). There was evidence of construction in the area, but the definite cause of the fire remains unknown. No reported injuries; FS 9; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; BC13 BC701 E10 E3 E9 RA209 RA809 SQ21 T10 T9; CH7; 15; -Nicholas Prange

Update Structure Fire; INC#1860; 12:09AM; 6836 N Lankershim Bl; http://bit.ly/2NBOhGV; North Hollywood; Now, 116 firefighters are assigned to this incident. A 10,614 sq-ft auto body parts business is engulfed in flames. Firefighters initially made interior access, and cut holes in the roof to ventilate the fire. As the blaze continued to grow, firefighters were ordered off the roof and out of the building to assume a defensive posture. Companies continue to attack the fire with heavy streams (aerial ladder pipe, portable monitor, 2-1/2" hand lines, etc), as they evade electrical wires that have come down in front of the building. Fire has spread to an adjacent building and is blowing flames through that roof. There have been no reported injuries or victims; FS 89; Batt 14; Valley Bureau; Council District 2; -Nicholas Prange
