A fire in a commercial building in the Westlake area was put out in 21 minutes Friday.
The fire was reported at 5:58 p.m. at 3230 Beverly Blvd., near Hoover Street, according to Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Flames were showing and appeared to threaten at least one nearby building when firefighters arrived, Stewart said.
The 48 firefighters assigned to the fire took 21 minutes to put out the flames in the 2,500-square foot building that had flammable materials inside and was possibly a storage facility, Stewart said.
“Additional firefighters defended the exposed buildings, which are only separated by a few feet,” Stewart said.
No injuries were reported, Stewart said.
