An early morning massive commercial fire took Los Angeles City Firefighters over 90 minutes to extinguish.  

The fire was reported at 1:20 a.m. where it ripped through a two-story events planning business building in the 1700 block of N. Sichel Street.

The greater alarm fire threatened neighboring buildings, escalating it to a major emergency, but firefighters were able to contain it to the single 13,500-square-foot building.

It took 120 firefighters 95 minutes to extinguish the fire, according to the LAFD.
