Major Emergency Declared as Massive Structure Fire Engulfs Multiple Buildings in Hyde Park
LOS ANGELES, CA (Hyde Park) — The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) declared a Major Emergency following a large-scale structure fire that broke out in the 2300 block of Southwest Drive in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
According to initial reports, firefighters arrived on scene to find a commercial structure fully engulfed in flames, with heavy fire conditions rapidly spreading to multiple adjacent buildings.
Due to the intensity and volume of fire, incident commanders transitioned operations into a defensive strategy, prioritizing the protection of nearby exposures and preventing further structural collapse.
More than 120 firefighters were dispatched to the scene, supported by multiple engines, ladder trucks, and specialized units.
Crews established large-diameter hose lines and aerial master streams to combat the blaze from a safe perimeter, as interior conditions became untenable.
At the height of the incident, flames were visible from several blocks away, and thick plumes of black smoke prompted air quality advisories for the surrounding area.
Nearby residents were urged to remain indoors and keep windows closed as a precaution.
LAFD officials confirmed that no civilian injuries have been reported at this time; however, one firefighter was being evaluated for potential heat exhaustion.
Utility crews were also called to the scene to secure power and gas lines impacted by the fire.
The cause of the blaze remains under active investigation by LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section investigators.
Damage assessments are ongoing, but officials anticipate significant structural loss.
Firefighters are expected to remain on scene through the night conducting overhaul operations and monitoring for potential flare-ups.
Residents are advised to avoid the area of Southwest Drive between West 23rd Street and Hyde Park Boulevard while emergency operations continue.
