Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel arrived at the scene to find flames erupting from the roof of the structure and emitting a massive plume of smoke into the air.

Battalion Chief Kevin Klar said the cause of the fire was under investigation but "potentially could be electrical, but it's hard to know until we get ... all the stuff pulled out, kind of overhaul it."
