덫 치명적인 유혹 dailymotion

Firefighters battled a fire Sunday that erupted in the early morning and remained active well into the afternoon at a downtown L.A. office supplies store.

Roughly 120 firefighters were called at about 4 a.m. to the two-story building with a mezzanine at 1225 S. Hope St. near West Pico Boulevard.

By 6 p.m., about 14 hours later, the fire was under control, a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson told The Times, capping a dramatic day that saw the blaze seem to abate, only to later surge. One firefighter suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized.

Upon arrival in the early morning, crews encountered heavy smoke and flames. Firefighters transitioned to defensive mode and used a remote-suppression robot to enter the building, LAFD spokesperson Jennifer Middleton said. Arson and emergency air units also were requested.

The blaze was initially contained by 5:52 a.m., but the building’s contents rekindled, said LAFD Battalion Chief Peter Hsiao.

At about 10 a.m., firefighters were “trying to remove paper from the building to stop it from catching on fire,” Hsiao said.

By 10:30 a.m., the building’s roof had collapsed. Thirty minutes later, the building was again engulfed in flames.

At 1:30 p.m., firefighters were trying to contain the blaze by using a forklift and heavy machinery to pull boxes of office supplies and pallets of paper out of the building, then spraying it all down with water.

Firefighters on the roof were also spraying the fire to prevent it from spreading.

The address is associated with Bluebird Office Supplies. A voicemail left for a number listed for the business owner was not immediately returned.

No one was inside the building at the time of the blaze, Middleton said.

At 6 p.m., LAFD still had units deployed at the office supplies store but a spokesperson said the fire posed a low threat Firefighters will remain on fire watch throughout the evening.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
