KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0251; 08:02AM; 18711 W Ventura Bl; https://bit.ly/3Co4OXa; Tarzana; **Greater Alarm** Fire spread through the walls, attic, and facade of a one-story strip mall. The main fire unit was on the end (adjacent to Ventura Blvd) and is currently a vacant occupancy. The fire spread to the adjacent unit (Kushiyu restaurant), where firefighters stopped the progress. No other units in the strip mall became involved. Firefighters performed salvage operations inside the restaurant to protect from further damage from smoke and water, while crews above ventilated the roof and fire attack teams deployed hose lines to get water on the fire. Ultimately, it took 93 firefighters 47 minutes to extinguish the flames. There were no reported injuries. LAFD Fire Investigators are en route to perform a fire-cause investigation. LAFD CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers responded to set up hydration for firefighters, as the work is far from over. Crews will remain on scene to perform an overhaul of the burned portions of the building.; FS 93; Batt 17; Valley Bureau; Council District 3; BC10 BC14 BC15 BC17 CE83 CM42 E100 E109 E227 E239 E273 E288 E290 E305 E73 E83 E84 E89 E93 EA1 EM17 HL7 HR3 RA83 RA889 RA89 RA903 RA93 T105 T27 T39 T73 T88 T90 UR88 UR89; CH9; 17 18; Nicholas Prange
