TORRANCE (CNS)- Firefighters this morning worked to extinguish a blaze that began as a brush fire on the shoulder of the northbound Harbor (110) Freeway, then spread to a homeless encampment and then to a nearby storage lot in Torrance.
Crews were called to the 600 block of West Torrance Street at 12:47 a.m., said Officer Patrick Kimball of the California Highway Patrol.
Kimball said a brush fire that began on the right shoulder of the 110 Freeway quickly spread to the homeless camp and then jumped from the west side of a nearby fence to a storage lot.
