Commercial building catches fire in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A commercial building caught fire Sunday in Hollywood.

Flames tore through the Highland Plating Company in the 1000 block of North Orange around 9 a.m. It took L.A. City Fire crews about two hours to put out the flames.

Part of the building's roof caved in. The fire became so intense at one point that crews had to take a defensive stance.

A hazardous materials team was on hand to prevent chemicals from entering water and storm drains.

A cause of the fire was not immediately known.
