Fire photographer Rick McClure offered some photos of City of Los Angeles (CA) Fire Department (LAFD) crews working at a recent large fire in the Boyle Heights section.

One hundred firefighters battled and extinguished the stubborn fire in two hours and 10 minutes. This was an extended operation due to the difficulty accessing all areas of the fire because of the roof collapse. No injuries were reported.

LAFD Arson Section is on scene for the cause investigation, per protocol for a fire of this size
