PHOTOS: Crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department were battling a structure fire at a vacant two-story home in Historic South-Central L.A. Wednesday night.
Sky5 was leaving the scene of a structure fire in a five-story West L.A. apartment complex in the 1800 block of Westwood when aerial footage captured heavy flames showing from a roof in the 2500 block of South Main Street approximately 13 miles away.
L.A. fire officials said the single-family dwelling, which has been the site of previous fires, was showing heavy flames coming from the roof, prompting crews to take a defensive approach to the blaze, entirely avoiding the inside of the structure.
Some 60 firefighters were able to get the fire under control in about 20 minutes and prevent any nearby structures from catching fire. Preliminary reports suggested that no one was inside the structure, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
