KNOCKDOWN Major Emergency Structure Fire 06/22/2023 INC#1024 - KNOCKDOWN Major Emergency Structure Fire; INC#1024; 04:47PM; 728 S San Pedro St; ; #DowntownLA; Firefighters arrived to the Flower District of Downtown Los Angeles to find heavy fire involving outside storage in the rear, and a two-story mixed-occupancy building, with a row of commercials on the first floor and residential units above that, both occupied at the time. Firefighters immediately called for reinforcements upon seeing the blaze. The Incident Commander divided tasks between crews to take care of interior fire attack, rooftop ventilation, interior search, and evacuation of the occupied buildings. It took 148 firefighters one hour and 35 minutes to extinguish the flames. Thankfully, only one person (28-year-old female) was transported to the hospital in fair condition, and a second (50-year-old male) was evaluated and released (both had symptoms of smoke inhalation). Four commercial units and the respective residential units above them sustained fire damage. Approximately 30 residents will be displaced. Red Cross is responding to assist. No firefighter injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.; FS 9; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; AR30 AR33 AR38 AR7 BC1 BC11 BC13 BC14 BC18 BC2 BC5 CE59 CM20 CM21 CM22 E1 E10 E11 E13 E14 E15 E17 E2 E201 E202 E203 E209 E210 E211 E220 E221 E226 E227 E3 E4 E9 EA1 EM1 EM13 EM5 HR3 PH1 PI1 RA10 RA11 RA17 RA2 RA25 RA3 RA803 RA9 SQ21 T1 T10 T11 T2 T20 T21 T26 T27 T3 T9 UR3 UR88; CH7; 13 14 16; Nicholas Prange 06-22-23 05:38 PM
