Firefighters Knockdown Fire At Senior Apartment Building In Koreatown

KOREATOWN (CBSLA) - More than 100 Los Angeles firefighters helped put out flames on Saturday at a senior apartment building in Koreatown.

The fire took place at 873 S. St. Andrews Place.

When LAFD crew members arrived, they could see flames coming out of a second-floor unit.

It's unclear what caused the fire but it is currently under investigation.

"The self evacuation of many residents was calmly underway on LAFD arrival, with some residents subsequently assisted to safely shelter in place under the supervision of LAFD responders,'' Brian Humphrey said.

After firefighters first received word of the greater-alarm fire at 1:50 p.m., the fire was extinguished by 2:08 p.m., according to LAFD. No injuries were reported.
