200 fire fighters, 3 of whom were injured continue to battle a difficult to fight fire at the Extra Space storage facility on Venice Blvd. Per LAFD - each unit in the building is like its own small contained fire in a secure area that is almost impossible to get water into. The roof was difficult to cut ventilation holes into, and even then spraying water on the fire didn’t do much. Just have to let it burn out.
No word on what possibly triggered the blaze.

It is shameful to see some tenants be demanding and selfish wanting to enter to see there STUFF. Not taking into consideration that this was one hell of of fire that could had cause more damage to the surrounding homes and businesses. I want to personally thank all the man power of The LAFD that fought this fire and hope that those LAFD men who were injured recover quickly. I am less than a block away from Extra Storage .. People be considerate and let the professionals do their job. It is still dangerous to even get in to your Stuff. Some may have lost valuelable items. But most important there was no lost of lives.

You have no idea what you’re talking about! Lose your “stuff” in a fire and see how self-righteous you are!
