Tags:

SOUTH LA, CALIFORNIA – At around 2:30pm LAPD requested the LAFD for a tent fire that was next to a structure on 87th PL just west of Avalon Blvd in the Green Meadows area. The tent fire ignited a structure fire which quickly
spread throughout the property. Over 100 firefighters were called to
battle the fire.

PIO Information:
LAFD Firefighters assigned and continuing in defensive operations,
this still active fire known as the “87th Place Fire”, remains an LAFD
‘Major Emergency’ incident, with no injuries reported. Reported to 9-1-1
as an outside fire, on firefighter’s arrival, the blaze had already entered
an approximately 300′ x 300′ one-story commercial structure with three
contiguous roofs, housing what at first appeared to be solely an expansive
furniture manufacturing business, but also now appears to have housed a
marijuana grow operation. A comprehensive assessment of all businesses,
and building/s use, will occur when the fire is extinguished.At around 2:30pm LAPD requested the LAFD for a tent fire that was
