Los Angeles firefighters battle blaze at Pacoima auto salvage yard

Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters battled a blaze at an automobile salvage yard in Pacoima on Sunday. 

The fire was first reported at around 5:40 p.m. in the 12400 block of W. Montague Street, LAFD officials said in a news release. 

Upon arrival, firefighters found the one-story commercial building and multiple vehicles that had caught fire under a carport near the structure. 

It took more than an hour for over 100 firefighters to contain the blaze, which was finally extinguished at around 6:50 p.m. Firefighters said that HazMat units were called to the scene to monitor the air quality and water runoff from the firefight and that they were taking "extra precaution for the possibility of EV vehicles."

Aerial footage showed crews fighting the flames from extended ladders. 

The cause of the fire was not immediately known and no injuries were reported.
