"Inferno Engulfs Lomita Apartment Complex"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS Los Angeles
A massive fire tore through an apartment building in Lomita, causing the second floor to collapse and damaging the entire structure. Around 150 firefighters were dispatched to battle the blaze at the Vista Verde Condominium complex, with the roof eventually collapsing due to the intense flames. Two transformers exploded near the building, but there were no reported injuries to residents or firefighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and the building borders a cemetery.
