'11 firefighters injured' in 'significant explosion' during downtown Los Angeles blaze - Sky News

More than 230 firefighters are tackling a large blaze that has spread to several buildings following reports of an explosion in downtown Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) tweeted that up to 10 firefighters were "down" but in a news conference, Captain Erik Scott said that 11 received burn injuries, but gave no further details about their conditions at this stage.

The LAFD said the fire appears to have started in a storage area in the basement of an apartment building located on East Boyd Street, near Little Tokyo in the southern area of the city.

Residents were safely evacuated from the building, with one needing hospital treatment for smoke inhalation.
