Update Structure Fire; INC#0411; 09:32AM; 255 S Grand Av; https://bit.ly/3IDEECt; Downtown; Firefighters responded to reports of patients on both the 16th and 19th floor, made contact and determined no medical aid was needed. Occupants remain sheltered in place. There were workers on the roof of the building and firefighters ascended the interior stairwell to the roof to locate them and escort them safely down/out of the building (elevators can not be used at this time). The building engineer and LAFD Fire Prevention Bureau Inspector are on scene to operate the building's smoke removal system to clear the remaining smoke out of the structure. One patient was transported (as reported in earlier alert) with burn injuries. No other occupants have required medical aid or transport. Additional calls are coming from occupants in various units within the building and the LAFD Metropolitan Fire Communications (MFC) 9-1-1 center is providing that information to the Incident Commander who is deploying a fire company to investigate each one. They will make contact with the occupants and provide what assistance is required. ; FS 3; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; Margaret Stewart
