On Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 4:19 AM, 15 Companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, 7 LAFD Rescue Ambulances, 1 Urban Search and Rescue Unit, 1 Rehab Unit, 1 Hazardous Materials Team, 2 Arson Units, 3 EMS Battalion Captains, 1 Heavy Equipment Team including 3 Bulldozers, 5 Battalion Chief Officer Command Teams and 1 Division Chief Officer Command Team, a total of 119 Los Angeles Fire Department personnel under the direction of Assistant Chief David Yamahata<\/a>, responded to a Major Emergency Structure Fire at 2020 South Main Street<\/a> in the Washington Boulevard Corridor south of downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Summoned by a passerby, Los Angeles Firefighters arrived quickly to find a three-story building comprised of a two-story hotel over commercial units that was "under construction" and well involved with fire. <\/p>\n

\nVarying degrees of construction, including raw lumber, open conduits and routine construction debris, allowed the fire to spread rapidly and gain a stubborn foothold as Firefighters tackled the flames.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>Firefighters utilized Rotary saws<\/a> to cut through metal fences in order to gain access around the yet to be occupied building. A bold defensive operation commenced against a well-entrenched fire using heavy-streams such as Ladder-pipes<\/a> capable of spraying up to 1,000 gallons per minute.<\/p>\n

\nThe fire was confined to the structure of origin and extinguished in just 45 minutes and no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

Loss from the fire is still being tabulated. The cause of this early morning blaze remains under active investigation.<\/p>\n
