Local News in Brief : N. Hollywood Blazes Keep Firefighters Busy
- Share via
Firefighters in North Hollywood were kept busy Friday afternoon by four fires that started within half an hour of each other, a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman said.
Fire officials said at least two of the fires may have been deliberately set.
The biggest was in a four-car garage at 4949 Cahuenga Blvd., spokesman Jim Wells said. The structure, which contained a compact car, was engulfed, and damage was estimated at $22,000, Wells said.
The other fire of suspicious origin broke out about the same time in a garage two blocks away at 5114 Auckland Ave.
Half an hour earlier, a storage shed and a fence in the 6000 block of Vineland Avenue caught fire. Wells said inspectors were investigating the cause of those fires.
“They are looking into whether they are all related,” he said. “But, right now, that has not been established.”
