Lanes of the 110 an 101 freeways, along with surrounding surface streets, begin to close.
4:09 a.m. – A second fire is reported: Firefighters responded to a fire at a two-story apartment building undergoing renovations in the Westlake neighborhood, just a few miles away from the first fire.
4:50 a.m. – Southbound 101 and 110 reopened: The southbound 101 and 110 freeways were reopened. The heavy smoke had prompted the California Highway Patrol to issue a SigAlert.
6:50 a.m. – Westlake fire knocked down: More than 100 firefighters responded to the blaze.
8:00 a.m. – Downtown LA fire knocked down: More than 16 fire companies worked to get the fire about 98 percent contained. Two thirds of the 1.3-million suare foot building was burned down, an LAFD spokesman said. A building at 221 Figueroa Street that houses government offices was also badly damaged, with the majority of the second-story windows broken due to heat radiation.
10:10 a.m. – Northbound 110 partially reopened: After remaining closed through the morning rush hour, California Highway Patrol reopened lanes, but three remained closed during the evening commute.
