California is Burning!

To set the mood, i suggest playing this song.


An intense fire tore through a manufacturing plant and pallet yard Tuesday afternoon in South L.A. The flames sent a dark plume of smoke into that sky that could be seen from Orange County to the San Fernando Valley.

Reports of the fire at 6236 Gramercy Place came in to authorities at about 2:15 p.m., according to the city Fire Department.

Firefighters were quickly forced to take a defensive position and attempt to prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings.

Sky 9 reported that some local power lines had fallen on a fire truck, trapping a firefighter inside. However, d'Lisa Davies of the city Fire Department told the station that there were no reports of any firefighters being injured.

The cause of the fire wasn't immediately known, but stacks of shipping pallets stored at the site fueled the flames.

No injuries have been reported.

...i suppose Bobby Hundreds had nothing to do with this. However, i find it quite ironic that the day he blogs about the 1992 Los Angeles Riots a similar "looking" fire erupts in South Los Angeles. NOW EVERYONE GO BLAME BOBBY!

...just kidding, haha!
