An explosion in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday evening burned multiple buildings and injured 11 firefighters before it was extinguished, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
An initial fire occurred at 327 E Boyd St, south of Little Tokyo and near Skid Row, where firefighters were responding to a one-story commercial building with smoke. The department issued an updated statement, less than a half hour later, saying approximately 10 firefighters were “down” following an explosion, and that the situation had “been upgraded to a major emergency.”
