SEVERAL TREES CAUGHT FIRE AND
A COMPETENT ALLEY.
NOW INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING
AT WHAT STARTED THAT FIRE.
KCAL NINE IS LIVE IN COMPTON
THIS MORNING.
JOY.
YEAH, AMY, THIS WAS AN
ALARMING SITE AS IT APPEARED
SEVERAL FIRE STARTED ALL AT
ONCE THIS ALLEY BEHIND ME.
YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A LOT OF
STUFF THAT IS DOWN.
INCLUDING POWERLINES, TREES,
THERE'S A LOT OF FENCES THAT
WERE CHARRED BECAUSE OF THIS.
AS THIS ENTIRE AREA WENT UP IN
FLAMES PRE-TAKE A LOOK AT THE
VIDEO.
YOU CAN REALLY SEE HOW MUCH
THIS AREA WAS GLOWING.
IT HAPPENED VERY, VERY
QUICKLY.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE NUMEROUS
FIRES ALL AT THE SAME TIME, A
LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK IT
MAY BE ARSON.
HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE CASE
OF THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION.
THE LOS ANGELES FIRE
DEPARTMENT TELLS ME IS
ACTUALLY SPARKING WIRES FROM
SOCAL EDISON THAT GOES TO THIS
ALLEY THAT IMPACTS BECAUSE ALL
OF THESE FIRES ALMOST AT THE
EXACT SAME TIME, UP AND DOWN
THE ALLEY.
THANKFULLY FIREFIGHTERS WERE
ABLE TO GET OUT AND ABOUT 15
MINUTES OR SO.
AND THEY DID SAVE ALL OF THE
STRUCTURES THAT ARE ON BOTH
SIDES OF THIS ALLEY.
HOWEVER, SEVERAL FENCES AS
WELL AS AN OUT BUILDING AND
SEVERAL DID GO UP IN FLAMES.
WHICH IS REALLY TOUGH NEWS2
SEE.
BUT AS FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING
NOW, THERE IS A LOT OF WORK
DUNFORD BACK OUT HERE LIVE YOU
CAN SEE ALL OF THE WIRES THAT
ARE HIGH UP ABOVE.
THE POWER IS OFF RIGHT NOW.
SOCAL EDISON IS SUPPOSED BE
COMING TO THE SCENE AS THEY
ARE GOING TO TRY TO LOOK INTO
IT BECAUSE THE WIRES TO SPARK
AND POSSIBLY SEE IF THEY CAN
RESTORE THE POWER.
WE ALSO HAVE OTHER UTILITY
CREWS THAT ARE ON THE SCENE
THIS MORNING AS EVERYONE IS
TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL
OF THEIR LIVES ARE SAFE.
BECAUSE OF THIS FIRE BUT OF
COURSE THERE IS NO POWER OUT
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S A TOUGH SITUATION VERY
FRIGHTENING ONE IN THIS
