Firefighters battled heavy flames at a graffiti-covered commercial building in downtown Los Angeles that spread to a nearby building and took an hour and 37 minutes to put out — and the suspicious fire wasn’t the first reported in recent months at the Flower Street location.
The fire was first reported at 1:43 a.m. in a two-story building at 1338 S. Flower St., between Venice and Pico boulevards, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Margaret Stewart.
Video showed flames burning through the roof of the graffiti-covered building.

ExpandAt 2:15 a.m., Stewart reported that the fire had spread to nearby commercial units in a separate building and that additional resources were requested.
Firefighters put out the flames in the original building first, and after pouring water on the fire from outside the second building, that blaze was snuffed by 3:20 a.m., she said.
