A building that has been vacated for two years due to damage it sustained from a fireworks blast set off by the LAPD caught fire on Tuesday due to squatters, community advocates say.
The fire started on the second floor of a vacant two-story apartment on East 27th Street around midday Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The LAPD bomb squad in 2021 tried to safely detonate 40 pounds of illegal fireworks into into an armored containment vessel that was rated for only 33 pounds, causing the blast to damage nearby buildings, homes and vehicles.
