"Firefighters Contend with Persistent Industrial Blaze in El Segundo"

Despite massive amounts of water being poured on the roof, the flames persisted, and at one point, an overhead power line sparked up and ignited. No injuries were immediately reported, and the business may be involved in glass and mirror work.
