Los Angeles fire officials say at least 10 firefighters have been injured in an explosion and fire in a downtown neighborhood Saturday.
More than 200 firefighters have been involved in bringing the blaze under control.
The fire apparently began in a one-story commercial building but spread to multiple buildings after an explosion. The fire’s flames and smoke were visible for miles.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said a “medical branch” was created at the scene of the fire “for treating and transporting injured firefighters.”
