Los Angeles: Firefighters Fight Construction Site Fire

A massive fire in downtown Los Angeles has led to the closure of major highways, including the 101. Over 250 firefighters are working to control the blaze, which is visible from miles away. The fire involves a building intended to be a tall residential structure, known as the Davinci. Fortunately, there are no immediate reports of injuries, and it appears no one was residing or working in the building. Social media platforms like Twitter and Vine are providing dramatic images of the event. Recent rains have helped, but the morning commute is expected to be severely affected.
