10 firefighters injured in EXPLOSION while responding to multi-building blaze in downtown Los Angeles (VIDEOS) | |
(32 minutes later) | |
At least 10 firefighters have been injured in a blast while they were responding to a massive commercial building fire in downtown Los Angeles. | |
Firefighters initially responded to a report of a fire at a one-story commercial building, and there was “nothing unusual” until the explosion occurred once they entered the building. | |
The Los Angeles Fire Department issued a major emergency “mayday” call, sending more than 200 others to the scene to contain the blaze that jumped to several neighboring buildings. | |
The condition of the injured was not immediately clear, while Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted: “My thoughts are with our brave @LAFD firefighters.” | |
The fire was largely taken under control in about an hour, but multiple fire crews remain at the scene. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined - as well as what exactly was inside the building that caused the blast. | |
