COMPTON, Calif. (AP) — A huge fire in a Southern California commercial yard spread to neighboring homes, destroying three and damaging a fourth, authorities said.
The fire erupted in Compton around 5 p.m. Wednesday and units from multiple agencies responded, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
Residents fled their homes but there were no injuries reported.
Fire officials said the yard contained a wide array of items including vehicles, cardboard, pallets and paints.
The fire burned into the night as firefighters poured streams of water onto the properties.
