PASADENA (CBSLA) — Flames ripped through a Salvation Army facility in Pasadena Wednesday afternoon.

Personnel from the Los Angeles County Fire Department were assisting in the firefighting effort, which was continuing into the early afternoon.

Fire crews said there was a lot of fuel due to an increase in donations during the coronavirus pandemic.
