Huntington Park : Night Fire Causes $400,000 Loss at Furniture Factory
A fire broke out at a Huntington Park furniture factory early Wednesday morning, causing $400,000 in damage but no injuries, a Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman said.
The fire started shortly after 1 a.m. in an outdoor storage area of Aleco Furniture Manufacturing, 6115 Maywood Ave., and spread to the rear of the factory, fire inspector Brian Jordan said. About 50 firefighters extinguished it by 2 a.m.
The blaze caused $100,000 in damage to the factory’s building and $300,000 damage to contents, Jordan said. An Aleco spokeswoman said the fire had shut down manufacturing operations. She did not know when they would resume.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
