By frhayes | April 17, 2009
On Thursday, April 16 2009 at approximately 10:30 PM, Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) Units responded to a report of a structure fire on the cities west side, at 1347 West 14TH Street.
Upon arrival, the first in Engine Company found a large volume of fire coming from a two story commercial building and requested the incident be upgraded to a Second Alarm response. A total of 45 Firefighters on 14 pieces of apparatus responded and worked to confine the fire to the unit of origin.
The area of origin appears to have occurred in a center unit used as a recording studio, a diesel injection business, and another vacant adjoining unit both received minor structural and smoke damage. The total estimated damage caused by the fire is approximately $500,000.
The LBFD Arson bureau is currently investigating the cause of the fire, and the Building Department has “boarded up” the structure to ensure security, and to prevent any injuries to the community.
This fire occurred in Council District #1.
