The Los Angeles Fire Department was investigating Saturday the cause of a fire that heavily damaged a two-story building in downtown’s fashion district.
The fire at 851 San Julian Place was reported at 10:22 p.m. Friday and started on the building’s first floor, where rolled carpets and other supplies were being stored, said Fire Department spokesman Cecil Manresa.
The fire spread to the second floor of the warehouse before firefighters contained the blaze shortly before midnight, Manresa said.
