Firefighters prevented a fire at a commercial building in Studio City from spreading Tuesday morning to the nearby Baked Potato jazz lounge.
The Los Angeles Fire Department responded at about 5:30 a.m. to the property in the 3700 block of North Cahuenga Boulevard near the 101 Freeway. A detached building behind the Baked Potato was on fire with flames threatening the business.
"Firefighters found a detached A/V room with fire inside behind the main building, with flames threatening the commercial," the LAFD said in a statement. "Crews quickly deployed hose lines to the rear and extinguished the flames, keeping them from extending inside the main portion of the business."
Crews knocked down the fire in 17 minutes.
