In the early hours of August 27, 2024, a fire erupted in a metal-clad building at the intersection of Compton and 82nd Place in the Florence-Graham neighborhood of Los Angeles. The blaze appears to have originated in the building’s paint booth area.
The surrounding area, cluttered with pallets, presented a heightened risk of the fire spreading. The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACOFD) responded swiftly to the scene, working diligently to contain the flames and prevent them from reaching the nearby pallets. Firefighters are taking all necessary precautions to control the situation and reduce potential hazards. As of now, the fire is under control, and further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
