 Two buildings destroyed and three others damaged by fire in downtown L.A. L.A. City Fire Captain Cody Weirader says firefighters responded and found bailed-up items and cardboard boxes up in flames. It was a well-established fire that required additional resources to immediately respond. In total, we had 170 firefighters respond to the incident. One of those firefighters injured his leg while pulling hose. Firefighters spent hours attacking the fire from the ground and from above to get it under control. Blake Trolle, ABC News, Los Angeles.
