Flames engulfed a family-owned tire shop in South Los Angeles early Thursday, a fire authorities have described as suspicious as it follows another blaze at the building just weeks earlier.
Bright red, towering flames overtook the building as highly flammable stacks of tires inside kept the blaze going around 3:30 a.m., according to Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Erik Scott. After firefighters put it out, Scott said the fire department was moving on to its investigation, working to put pieces of evidence together.
In a GoFundMe, the owners said their store sustained $6,000 in damages from the fire earlier this month.Scott said the fire department is 'taking this very seriously' as an arson investigator was assigned to the Aug. 2 case, and now, there will be two more arson investigators looking into the Thursday morning fire.
