87 firefighters battle Sun Valley commercial blaze

California

SUN VALLEY — For over two hours, 87 firefighters battled flames late Tuesday into early Wednesday at a commercial building in Sun Valley before taking control of the fire.

Fire crews responded about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday to the corner of Sunland Boulevard and San Fernando Road, where they found a two-story structure with heavy flames and began defensive operations due to the intensity of the fire, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Nicholas Prange.

The now-vacant building is a former Hope of the Valley Thrift Store location.

The majority of the fire was knocked down by 1:37 a.m., but firefighters remained on scene to access the remaining pockets of fire within the debris and LAFD Heavy Equipment was called in to assist, Prange said.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
