Fire raged Tuesday in a massive World War II-era wooden hangar that was built to house military blimps based in Southern California. "Due to the dynamic nature of the fire, and the imminent danger of collapse, we have determined the most operationally sound method is to allow the structure to collapse, at which point ground crews can move in closer, and aggressively work to extinguish the fire," the Orange County Fire Authority said in a social media post. Fire Chief Brian Fennessy said no injuries were reported.
The fire at the Tustin hangar will collapse one of the world's biggest wooden structures at 17 stories high, more than 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide
