COMMERCE, Calif. (KNX) – Firefighters fought a blaze at an industrial warehouse in Commerce early Friday morning.

It happened in the 6500 block of Flotilla Street.

Los Angeles County Fire Captain Sheila Kelliher told KNX News firefighters responded to the fire at 3:39 a.m. and the roof collapsed.

“We are at a building that manufactures plastic benches and I can tell by just looking at the smoke that we're definitely starting to get a handle on it and they're knocking a lot of that heat out,” she said. “But we'll be here for a while getting this under control.”

The flames were contained and did not spread to any other buildings, according to City News Service.

No injuries were reported.
