Arson Team Investigates Blaze at Office Building
An arson team is investigating a fire that gutted the first two floors of a five-story office building Tuesday night.
The offices of Del Sol Furniture in the 7100 block of Sepulveda Boulevard near Sherman Way were fully engulfed in flames when more than 125 firefighters arrived about 6 p.m.
Several witnesses said they saw a group of men leave the store and throw an ignited bottle into a window.
One person inside suffered smoke inhalation, but no one else was injured.
Winds blowing flames across southbound Sepulveda forced firefighters to close the street during rush hour.
