Massive Apartment Fire Hits Los Angeles

An apartment complex in downtown Los Angeles burned early Monday morning in a fire that has shut down parts of two major freeways in the city, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The seven-floor complex was reportedly under construction at the time of the fire. More than 250 firefighters battled the blaze and most of the fire has been put out.

Transition lanes between the 110 and 101 freeways were shut down for a few hours, the state highway patrol told the Times. The fire could be seen for miles.

No injuries have been reported so far. It’s not yet clear what started the fire, which started shortly before 1:30 a.m. PT, KTLA reports.

The fire department has said that no one was living or working in the building complex when the fire broke out..
