Fire quickly extinguished in Hollywood auto shop
photo by Edwin Folven Firefighters extinguished a fire at an auto shop in a Hollywood strip mall on Dec. 29 in approximately 30 minutes and prevented the flames from spreading to adjacent businesses. The fire was reported at 11:57 a.m. in the Hi Tec Auto Test shop at 6036 Santa Monica Blvd. Approximately 70 firefighters were dispatched to the scene because of the potential for the fire to spread. The blaze blackened the shop’s façade and damaged the interior. The shop was open when the fire occurred and employees evacuated. No injuries were reported and the cause remains under investigation.

Japan Foundation showcases the art
ofJapan floral Foundation, arranging Los Angeles presents “Novus Plants,” an exhibi- tion featuring photographs from a selection of works by Hiroki Ohara, artist and fifth-generation headmaster of the Ohara School of Ikebana, on view from Jan. 10 to Feb. 2. Since he took on the role as head- master in 1995, Ohara has been immersing all of his senses to attune to the plants he works with. His experiences working with plants from an early age have broadened his artistic expression. His photographs transcend the tra- ditional forms of ikebana, or Japanese floral arrangement, and push the boundaries of the art form. The foundation will celebrate the new year and the exhibition’s open- ing with a reception on Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 7 p.m. The program will feature a live ikebana performance by Satsuki Palter and a screening of the movie “Yoko the Cerry Blossom.” Admission is free. The Japan Foundation is located at 5700 Wilshire Blvd., #100. For information, visit jflalc.org.
