DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Firefighters fought fire on both floors of a two-story Downtown LA office building, containing the fire to one portion of the building.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department was summoned to the 1000 block of West Sunset Avenue at 2:56 AM, on the morning of December, 5, 2023, for a structure fire at a two-story office building. The initial 9-1-1 report was of a rubbish fire, however, when the first company arrived, they found one side of the building well-involved with fire, and called for additional firefighters to respond.

Crews went to work immediately, forcing entry, extending hose lines inside, and ascending ladders to ventilate the roof. Ultimately, it took 56 firefighters just 37 minutes to access, confine, and fully extinguish the flames. This was the same site of another significant fire just three days earlier.

Thankfully, no one was injured. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
