Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Van Nuys Boulevard for a reported structure fire. Task Force 39 was first on scene and reported a large one-story commercial building with heavy smoke showing. Firefighters initially went into an offensive posture to attack the fire. After making entry and opening up the roof, flames as high as 30 feet started to shoot out of the building. This resulted in firefighters to switch into a defensive posture as the fire had spread to three occupancies. Ladder pipes and heavy streams were used in the defensive operation. The roof later collapsed, which allowed for firefighters get a better shot through the top. Solid efforts prevented the fire from spreading to the adjacent businesses, as the involved commercial building that consisted of three separate businesses and a church were part of a row of commercial buildings along Van Nuys Boulevard. What made it a stubborn fire was the due to the fact the main function of the businesses was the sale of textiles as well as storage. No injuries were reported.
