Los Angeles, CA – On Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 2:04 PM, a significant structure fire erupted at 215 E Winston St., escalating to Major Emergency status with over 88 firefighters deployed. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) has shifted to defensive operations as the blaze extended to an adjacent large commercial building, complicating firefighting efforts due to a heavy storage load that prevented crews from reaching the fire’s core.
Additional resources are en route to contain the fire, which continues to challenge responders. The LAFD has advised residents to avoid the area bounded by Los Angeles St., Winston St., Wall St., and E 4th St. to ensure safety and facilitate emergency operations.
No injuries have been reported at this time, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
