Major Emergency Structure Fire in San Pedro by Los Angeles Fire Department

1

At 9:02 PM on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, The Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) responded to multiple reports of a structure fire in the 1600 block of South Pacific Avenue, San Pedro. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy fire venting through the roof of a single-story commercial structure. Firefighters immediately launched an interior, offensive attack. However, as the fire grew in intensity and the structural integrity of the roof became compromised, the Incident Commander ordered the transition to a defensive operation. This move prioritized firefighter safety, using ladder pipes and heavy stream hand lines to "drown" the fire from the exterior.

As a thick smoke plume drifted toward an adjacent apartment building, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers conducted door-to-door notifications, advising residents to"shelter-in-place" for their safety.

In a strategic maneuver late in the operation, crews briefly returned to an offensive posture once the bulk of the fire was suppressed. This allowed firefighters to penetrate the interior, reach isolated pockets of fire in hard-to-access areas, and push the fire towards the center of the building for final extinguishment from a safe defensive position.

Incident Commander, Assistant Chief Paul Pham, officially declared knockdown at 11:02pm, exactly two hours after initial dispatch. There were no reported injuries to firefighters or civilians.

During the overhaul process, fire continued to burn within isolated pockets along the roof in the auto repair / sales business. Firefighters performed a dual role mission, while some crews chased down the fire, others obtained keys to the cars remaining inside to move and protect them from smoke and water damage.

The fire heavily damaged "The Bike Palace," where at least 30 lithium-ion batteries were located. These units requiredLAFD Inspector looking down at the drone controller specialized handling and monitoring to prevent hazardous re-ignition. Inspectors from the LAFD CUPA (Certified Unified Program Agency) were on scene to oversee the identification and safe management of these hazardous materials. They also deployed an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) "drone" which provided critical real-time situational awareness, using thermal imaging to help the Incident Commander identify hidden hazards and hotspots that were not visible from the ground.

Per protocol for a Major Emergency fire, the LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section (ACTS) is investigating the cause of the fire.

Storage Yard Fire in North Hollywood by Los Angeles Fire Department

5

At 3:54PM on October 20, 2024 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to the 11100 block of W Vanowen Street in North Hollywood for a reported structure fire. Upon arrival, firefighters found heavy fire in a storage yard, exposing a commercial building.

The building, doing business as a prop building company, was placarded with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704, Standard - often referred to as "NFPA hazard diamond". The placards provide emergency responders with critical information, at a quick glance, about the contents of structure/container. The building showed a "2" in the blue, "3" in red, "4" in yellow and "OXY" in the white, which could add significant complexity to an incident were the fire to extend into the structure.

Firefighters cut gates for access and maneuvered fire apparatus through the grounds to reach the fire. They immediately deployed heavy streams, using portable monitors and handlines to get copious amounts of water flowing.

The large yard was filled with unknown stored goods which created a very dark smoke and colored water run-off. Due to the potential for a hazardous materials component, the Incident Commander requested the LAFD Hazardous Materials Squad. These HazMat Squads are staffed with firefighters who achieve specialty certification in hazard identification, technical advising, entry into hazardous atmospheres, specialized mitigation and technical decontamination.

While crews continued to battle the fire, the HazMat Squad confirmed the run off was from ordinary combustibles and nothing posing a hazardous threat.

56 minutes into the incident, the 50+ firefighters on scene, including Engine 13 from Burbank Fire, operating under the command of Assistant Chief William Peralta, achieved a knockdown of the fire with no injuries reported. The quick and aggressive actions of the firefighter prevented the fire from extending to the building, averting a potentially far more serious situation.

In order to ensure the fire was fully extinguished, the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority foam tender, stationed at the Hollywood Burbank Airport just next to the incident, responded to a mutual aid request. They supplied LAFD engines with plentiful foam to more effectively address any remaining hot spots.

As crews completed their work, all firefighters underwent a decontamination operation to wash their protective gear of any remaining contaminants.
