Los Angeles Port Fire Is Out, But Smoke Threatens Neighbors
People living downwind of the Port of Los Angeles were warned to stay indoors because of potentially toxic smoke from a wharf fire Tuesday morning. A hundred firefighters, using boats, trucks, helicopters and scuba gear, extinguished the blaze Monday night, but the Los Angeles Police Department issued a smoke hazard alert early Tuesday. Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Katherine Main said that the four-alarm fire burned about 150 feet of a wooden dock that stretched under a warehouse and threatened nearby cargo ships. http://bit.ly/1r60Zyv http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
