“I looked down the aisle, and I seen flames,” one employee recalled in an interview with CBSLA. “First thing I did was just yell out, ‘fire, fire.'” Another employee remembered the sudden pandemonium. “All I could hear was my supervisors yelling ‘fire’ and ‘get out of the building as fast as you can,’ and I just seen people scattering.”
According to available information, no casualties at the scene. According to employees, the fire started around 5:30 - 5: 50 in the morning.
