A fire was burning Wednesday in a commercial building in downtown Los Angeles.
The fire was reported about 5:50 a.m. in the 1100 block of South Los Angeles Street, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The flames burned through the roof of the two-story building, the LAFD reported.
“The Incident Commander has withdrawn companies and transitioned to defensive mode — exterior-only fire attack,” the LAFD said in a statement about 6:30 a.m.
About 120 firefighters were working to extinguish the flames and prevent them from spreading to other buildings.
