NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) A blaze destroyed two buildings and knocked out power to over 1,000 customers in North Hollywood Monday night before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames.
Massive plumes of smoke billowed into the sky as more than 100 Los Angeles firefighters scrambled to prevent the flames from spreading to another building under construction.
Firefighters also responded to a high-rise apartment building on the north side of the fire due to smoke entering the structure.
Crews were able to save the building under construction, while no medical complaints were received from residents of the high-rise, despite thick smoke over the area.
