Greater Alarm Fire in Vacant Boyle Heights Bank Injures Two Firefighters
BOYLE HEIGHTS - It took 97 members of the Los Angeles Fire Department less than 90 minutes in largely defensive operations to access, confine and fully extinguish flames that quickly spread throughout a vacant and boarded 5,937 square-foot one story former bank building at 1308 South Soto Street on October 4, 2022. In fiercely battling the intense fire within the 72 year-old concrete structure, two LAFD members sustained non-life threatening injuries, and were taken to an area hospital in fair condition. Though an adult male discovered near the fire was later taken into police custody, the cause of the greater alarm fire remains under active investigation.
