Firefighters worked Monday morning to put out a blaze in a vacant commercial building in Koreatown that was once a dental office.
The fire was reported at 5:02 a.m. at 736 S. Vermont Ave., said the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Margaret Stewart.
The 35 firefighters had the flames out in 29 minutes, Stewart said.
“Firefighters defended the exposed four-story apartment building, separated by only a few feet at the rear of the structure, from any damage while LAPD had the occupants remain sheltered in place,” she said.
Flames could be seen through the roof of the building in video from the FOX11 helicopter.
No injuries were reported, Stewart said.
