PARAMOUNT, Calif. (AP) — An intense fire has gutted a Southern California commercial building, sending a huge pillar of smoke skyward.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department says there are no injuries in the Monday morning blaze in the city of Paramount.
Firefighters were called to the large, one-story building at 7:58 a.m. and a second alarm was called after the first engines arrived. Numerous fire units are on the scene.
Property records show the tenant is a packaging materials firm.
