The firefighters who were displaced after a massive fire severely damaged their station in Huntington Park have been relocated, according to Los Angeles County officials.
The fire happened early Wednesday morning at LA County Fire Station 164, located in the 6300 block of Santa Fe Avenue, leaving a large amount of damage behind. 'The firefighters were sleeping when the fire broke out, and if it were not for a Good Samaritan who rang the station's doorbell to alert them, this fire could have been much worse,' said County Supervisor Janice Hahn in a statement on Saturday.
'Crews who responded to assist with the fire were able to extinguish the flames in just under 90 minutes, but the damage was enough to prevent further operations at the station. Additionally, some engines and paramedic units were destroyed by the flames.
