A fire at Los Angeles City Hall, starting in the office of Chief Legislative Analyst Sharon Tso, was extinguished by sprinklers Saturday night.
The Los Angeles Fire Department’s arson team is investigating a fire that occurred Saturday night on the second floor of City Hall, authorities said.
Police believe that someone may have started the fire by throwing an unknown object through a window in the building. “Initially it appears a suspect outside of City Hall threw an object ... into the office, breaking the window and causing the fire,” said Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Officer Warren Moore. There was damage inside one of the offices, he said.Firefighters were quickly dispatched to the building at 200 North Spring Street, LAFD spokesperson Margaret Stewart said.
LAFD responders cleared water from the first and second floors of the building, Stewart said. Members of the department’s arson section also responded to the scene, Stewart said. She said she couldn’t comment on what kind of object had been thrown through the window because of the ongoing arson investigation.Numerous blower fans were set up in and around the impacted office suite on Sunday morning, drying carpets. A boarded up window pane was visible from the south lawn of City Hall.
