Unit metro, Light 474 is on scene with Engine 24, standing on a size up, large homeless encampment fire, under the bridge, no exposure into the brush. Need LAPD for some traffic control, shut down the bridge here, and start me one additional engine company. Light 474, roger. Light 474, you'll be getting Engine 98 from quarters.

@TexelFire818 @TexelFire818 We heard loud explosion as well. Our guess is propane tank exploded under bridge.

It’s not a rubbish fire. It’s a fire started by the druggies who live under the bridge.
