An early morning fire in downtown Los Angeles left a lingering stench of smoke in the air, prompting an advisory for a large swath of the city.
The fire was reported at 2:57 a.m. at 1655 E. 14th St. Heavy damage was confined to a one-story, metal-clad commercial structure and an adjacent six-bay automotive storage or repair facility, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Two adjacent commercial structures were successfully protected.
Even after the fire was extinguished, a strong odor was noticeable across the area, including the San Fernando Valley, and was expected to continue into the afternoon. The LAFD issued the smoke odor advisory, saying weather conditions were to blame for the smell, and adding there was no need to report it unless active fire or flames were seen.City News Service contributed to this report.
