Massive fire breaks out at Hollywood AutoZone

LOS ANGELES - A massive fire broke out at an AutoZone store in Hollywood Saturday, that officials said has "compromised" the building and one of the nearby stores.

The Los Angeles Fire Department originally reported the fire around 4:20 p.m. at the store on N. Highland Avenue.

Images from SkyFOX showed massive amounts of smoke pouring out of the shop. According to officials, the store is located in an L-shaped strip mall, and the fire has damaged one of the other stores in the strip mall.

Massive flames started popping out of the roof around 4:45. That's when, the LAFD reported, firefighters switched to a defensive strategy against the blaze. The entire roof was a fireball in a matter of minutes.

As of 10:30 p.m., the flames were fully extinguished. Officials said it took the LAFD around two hours and over 120 firefighters to battle the blaze that destroyed the AutoZone automotive parts store. 

The flames also significantly damaged nearby stores, Fat Sal's Deli and Sushi Ajito.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
