A woman is rescued and a firefighter suffers an injury to his hand Wednesday in the 'major emergency' fire in Hollywood.
By 6 p.m., the fire had damaged the structural integrity of part of the first building and caused it to partially collapse, according to the Fire Department. The building has 32 units and measures 18,900 square feet across two stories, according to authorities. The LAFD described the second building as “nearly identical” to the first.
The fire rendered a total of 18 units in the two buildings uninhabitable. The American Red Cross responded to assist with finding temporary housing for the nearly two dozen people displaced. The Los Angeles County Fire Department assisted with the response, which at its peak involved more than 100 firefighters. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
