ARSON STRIKES ORVILLE WRIGHT MIDDLE SCHOOL PLAYA DEL REY - A malicious, intentionally set fire struck a local Middle School today, that significantly damaged school property and injured three. The Los Angeles Fire Department was called to 6550 West 80th Street for a reported "Rubbish Fire" at Orville Wright Middle School at 11:31 am on Tuesday, November 29, 2011. First on-scene resources found a freestanding structure on school grounds, with heavy fire showing. School administrators did evacuate the entire campus as a precaution, but not before three individuals (one student, two adults) were treated for smoke inhalation. One patient, an approximate 50 year old female, was transported to a local hospital in "fair" condition with non-life threatening injuries and an unknown, but related illness. The blaze was fully extinguished by 57 Firefighters in just 35 minutes. The LAFD's Arson-Counter-Terrorism Section was dispatched to the school, where they quickly determined this fire to have been "intentionally and maliciously set." Arson Investigators remained for several hours, processing the scene. Two juveniles, believed to have been students at the school, were consequently arrested and booked on "Arson" charges. Both were later released into the custody of their respective parents. Investigators say a third arrest of another juvenile, is imminent. The incident remains under active investigation and all three juveniles will appear in court at a later date. Dollar loss estimates were placed at $75,000. There were no Firefighter injuries reported. Dispatched Units: E205 T5 RA5 E63 RA867 E295 E95 T95 E62 EM14 BC4 BC5 E59 E51 E263 T63 DC2 SQ21 BC13 E43 RA95 AR2 GENERATED FROM LAFD E.P.I.

At 1:30 am on Friday, December 2, 2011, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a large "Outside Fire" at 5339 East Valley Boulevard near El Sereno. The property spanned nearly three blocks in length and hosted several businesses, all of which were in jeopardy of being exposed to the blaze. Among those structures, was an approximate 200' x 400' commercial building with a very significant fire load. First arriving Firefighters encountered downed power lines and a large volume of fire, then immediately requested additional resources for assistance. At the center of this property was an open yard, where several tractor-trailers, most of which were holding highly combustible materials, were parked along with other heavy equipment. Together, these vehicles provided most of the fuel for this "Major Emergency" Incident. Firefighters did an outstanding job of preventing the blaze from spreading into any of the adjacent businesses on the property. One structure did sustain some fire damage, while the others were impacted only by the large quantities of water required to fully extinguish the blaze, which came in 1 hour and 58 minutes. There were no injuries reported from the scene and despite the "High Wind Warnings" that were in effect at the time of the fire, the wind did not play a factor. Damage estimates were not yet available and the cause of the fire is under active investigation.

The December 2, 2011 fire at 3935 South Vermont Avenue, was reported at 10:04 PM and quickly escalated to a Greater Alarm, as 121 Los Angeles Fire Department personnel under the command of Battalion Chief Stephen Gutierrez, forced entry and pulled multiple hoselines to do battle within the 75' x 150' retail establishment. Teams of firefighters worked swiftly with chainsaws on the arch truss roof, performing vertical ventilation of heat and smoke, as colleagues beneath them stoically held the fire to the westernmost half of the non-fire sprinklered structure, extinguishing the flames in just 59 minutes. No injuries were reported. Loss to the yet identified business is still being tabulated. The well-coordinated effort of Los Angeles Firefighters is credited with sparing a one-story automotive repair business to the north, and a two story building of apartments over retail to the south. The cause of the fire remains under active investigation.

BUSINESSES FROM FAST MOVING FIRE SOUTH LOS ANGELES - A fast moving fire in the attic of a one-story strip mall caused damage to two businesses in South Los Angeles early Saturday morning, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The greater alarm blaze, reported at 3:56 AM on Saturday, December 3, 2011 brought 119 Los Angeles Firefighters to 8720 South Western Avenue, where they discovered heavy smoke showing from a liquor store at the north end of a five-tenant row of businesses that shared a common attic. Strategic rooftop ventilation helped limit horizontal fire spread, as firefighters under the command of LAFD Assistant Chief David Yamahata used handlines to tackle flames within the 100' x 75' structure. Firefighters confined the bulk of fire to the liquor store of fire origin and attic, allowing only minor extension to a beauty supply firm immediately to the south. The three other firms were spared damage. The flames were fully extinguished in just 35 minutes, and no injuries were reported. Loss from the fire is still being tabulated, while the cause of the blaze remains under active investigation.
