Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
Firefighters battled a stubborn fire in the Port of LA for 32 hours and were able to extinguish it early this morning.
The wharf fire was declared extinguished at 3:07 a.m. Wednesday after more than 32 hours of active firefighting, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Land and sea crews were to remain at the scene to mop up the smoldering remains of the fire.
Also on Wednesday morning: clear skies — a welcome development for crews “tired of breathing smoke and smelling like smoke,” said Sgt. James Nua of the Los Angeles Port Police Department.
