The fire caused extensive structural damage inside the warehouse, making it difficult to reach areas of the fire with hoses. The Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement that the fire was upgraded to a “major emergency” late Sunday night.
“The building is fully involved and the structural integrity of the building is beginning to fail in at least one corner,” the fire department said in a statement.
