Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN GABRIEL - More than 40 firefighters quenched a large blaze at a vacant dealership August 1. No injuries were reported in the fire that burned at 100 S. San Gabriel Blvd. Firefighters were dispatched to the location at 4:29 a.m., according to the San Gabriel Fire Department. Despite firefighters from Los Angeles County, Alhambra, Arcadia, Monterey Park, Pasadena and San Marino aggressively attacking the flames, they had to retreat due to a roof collapse, according to the San Gabriel Fire Department.
“The incident commanders felt that all units that were on the roof and inside should exit the building,” according to Cpt. Antonio Negrete of the San Gabriel Fire Department. It took two hours to knock down flames. A fire investigator is determining the cause, Negrete told SGV CityWatch. |
