Stubborn fire destroys 99 Cents Only store in Culver City, prompting large response from firefighters

The fire was reported about 1:45 a.m. at the store in the 12000 block of Washington Boulevard, according to fire officials.

When firefighters arrived, they attempted to extinguish the flames from the roof and inside the building but encountered heavy flames and had to retreat. By 5 a.m., the fire had charred through the structure’s roof, causing a portion to collapse. By dawn, roughly 70 firefighters from Culver City and Los Angeles had been battling the blaze for about four hours. Smoke billowed above the retail store as fire crews on the ground and on ladders sprayed thousands of gallons of water on the smoldering inferno.Culver City Fire Department Capt. Daniel Dobbs told KABC-TV Channel 7 that products inside the store provided significant fuel for the fire, making it more difficult for crews to extinguish the flames.

I have a feeling I know how much the insurance company paid out.

All that toxic Chinese plastic burns hot. I can just imagine the fumes. Those 99c stores are toxic when they are NOT on fire. Give those firefighters raises and ban Chinese c-ap!
