Fire engulfed at least seven U-Haul vehicles at a rental facility in Baldwin Park overnight, with an investigation into the suspected case of arson underway Wednesday.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded at about 11 p.m. Tuesday to a rental lot at 1889 Puente Ave., according to Baldwin Park police. The address corresponds to U-Haul of Baldwin Park, which was closed at the time the fire broke out.
Video recorded during the firefight showed several trucks ablaze and crews using hose streams and foam to douse the flames.
Firefighters also used power tools that sent up sparks as they cut into some of the smoldering vehicles.
Seven vehicles were reported to have been damaged and fire department arson investigators were working to the determine the cause, although the fire is believed to have been intentionally set, according to Baldwin Park Police Department Lt. Evan Martin.
No injuries were reported and flames never reached any structures, Martin said.
