Crews are responding to reports of a structure fire at the Crypto.com Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The Los Angeles Fire Department cited the fire at 4:16 p.m., and firefighters responded to reports of moderate smoke showing on the first floor of the arena located at 1111 S. Figueroa St.
Upon arrival, LAFD said crews were pointed to the source of the smoke coming from a storage room on the first floor.
The sprinklers were activated in the arena, according to LAFD, and firefighters went into offensive mode, “establishing a hose lay to then locate the seat of the fire.”
Footage from Citizen.com showed at least nine firetrucks parked outside the former Staples Center, and smoke was seen dissipating around the front doors.
Details are limited; officials did not immediately say where flames may have been visible or what may have started the fire.
This is a developing story. More information will be provided as updates come into the station.
