Crews responded on August 13, 2021, to this fire on Titus St. in the Panorama City neighborhood. At least 105 LAFD firefighters battled the one-story commercial fire from the exterior (defensive mode), making this a “Major Emergency” fire.

Crews were challenged by inaccessible pockets of fire within the debris. There were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
