"Concessions in Terminal 2 are serving only pre-packaged goods," Castles said.
The parking structure was closed to the public until further notice. Owners may still claim their vehicles in and exit for free.
Emergency crews have been called in to address the issue. The LAFD remained on fire watch at Terminal 2.
