Firefighters Knock Down Fire At Strip Mall In East Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Firefighters Sunday knocked down a fire at a vacant two-story strip mall in East Hollywood, which had been the location of a previous blaze in March 2017.

Firefighters dispatched at 4:38 a.m. to 1280 N. Vermont Ave. had the fire out at 5:52 a.m. and reported that flames had threatened an adjacent four- story center hallway apartment building, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

"Flames caused some damage to at least eight apartments in the 25,006- square foot building, which was constructed in 1928, but there were no civilian or firefighter injuries," Humphrey said.
