A fire erupted in a strip mall on in Mar Vista around 11:45 a.m. Sunday. Los Angeles Fire Department received reports of a fire at 3519 S. Centinela Avenue, which is the address of an attached building that houses several businesses. After 95 minutes of emergency response, the LAFD successfully extinguished the flames around 1:30 p.m. and reported no injury in a statement.
