Democrats are burning down America to re-claim and build again and claim ownership. America is doomed.
I be more worried if the apartment building was made from wood but it's made from concrete so they will be fine expect for that smell of fire smoke…
hopefully insurance covers it
They'll be happy when they burn all of la down😂
America is doomed and you all to stupid to see whats happening to our future. AMERICA IS DOOMED.

Looting 😂😂😂,
Very tragic, accidents happen but there has to be a couple of arsonist because another fire was started on Main Street LA but it was quickly put out.
Those darned transients are at it again.
Gonna start seeing a lot more fires and housing displacement. Sprinkle in retail business and pharmacies leaving, limiting supply increasing crime, more gun laws. They want destruction and dependency. Say what you want about the right but the left is downright disasterous.
The ruff
I smelled it all the way near my work! It smelled hideous!
I'm going to guess it was caused by Homeless people/ transients.
This is all bad…we need massive healing as a state.
Where is the "Union Hotel" signage outside of this building?
The commercial businesses that show open with the rolling doors up have a name for the public to see, so what is really happening over there?? WHAT IS DONE IN THE DARK WILL COME INTO LIGHTS NO MATTER THE SOURCE OF THE LIGHTS.. Too much airtime for this 1 fire.
That female newscaster is so annoying and the guy is not much better, just spews nonsense. I guess she has to say something.
Looks like the hood lol
I pray fir everyone and there families❤❤❤
