As of 6:30 a.m., LAFD and Cal Trans were at the scene, dousing hot spots, cleaning up, and assessing the integrity of the charred roadway, as there is broken concrete, melted steel, and guardrails.
Around 164 firefighters, from 26 Los Angeles Fire Department stations worked to put out an early Saturday morning massive pallet fire in downtown Los Angeles which has shut down a portion of the 10 Freeway interchange indefinitely. The fire was first reported around 1:45 a.m. in the 1700 block of East 14th Street where the first of two fires was burning in a 40,000-square-foot pallet yard, directly under the 10 Freeway at Alameda Street.
That radiant heat from the first fire caused flames to spread to a second nearby pallet yard of similar size between Lawrence and Elwood streets according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. While a fire engine and several cars were burned, crews were able to protect three commercial buildings from burning. There were no reported injuries A representative from the California Highway Patrol said at this point, it's looking like a 24-hour road closure.
