130 Firefighters Called to $6-Million Blaze
A fire raced through a North Hollywood commercial building Friday, causing an estimated $6 million in damage and destroying two businesses, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.
There were no injuries, although six employees of an adult video company fled the building when the fire was discovered, officials said. The cause of the blaze remained under investigation but appeared to be accidental.
About 130 firefighters controlled the fire in about an hour. Although the outside walls of the approximate 20,000-square-foot building remained standing, officials said the interior was gutted by the fire, which had also burned through the roof.
