It's just a grass fire
Los Angeles firefighters faced a working fire in a Echo Park commercial building on 9 October. Five firefighters suffered minor injuries during the blaze. A reported ceiling collapse caused a withdraw of crews from the interior. More information is available on FireRescue Magazine/FirefighterNation "Five Los Angeles Firefighters Injured During Fire".
The incident initially began as a grass/vegetation fire.
