More than 120 firefighters battled a three-story boarded-up commercial blaze in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday night.

The building, located at 628 S. Los Angeles St. in downtown, was called a "major emergency structure fire" by the Los Angeles Fire Department.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the structure was showing potential signs of collapse, causing companies to allow a buffer zone, if and when this happened.

Intense heat was exposed to a nearby residential building, causing one unit to catch on fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. No injuries have been reported.
