They show a monster fire destroying a massive six-story Da Vinci Apartments complex under construction at 909 West Temple Street. It appears to have collapsed onto the 110 or 101 Freeway as this is near their intersection with Temple Street and Figueroa Streets in Downtown Los Angeles. The fire is threatening adjacent exposures according to the LAFD which is declaring this a major emergency fire with multiple alarms and over 200 firefighters on scene.
