Arson Hits Second Day in Row
An arsonist struck the same Hollywood commercial building for the second day in a row today, setting off a blaze that caused damage estimated at $125,000, Fire Department spokesman Jim Williamson said. Eight companies of firefighters battled the 1:25 a.m. blaze at the Comic Castle Toys and Games store in the 6600 block of Hollywood Boulevard for nearly two hours. There were no injuries, Williamson said.
The first arson fire Sunday caused $65,000 to the same building and $27,000 damage to two adjacent buildings, Williamson said.
