A significant three-alarm fire engulfed an apartment building in Marina del Rey on Thursday, causing damage to approximately 30 units and resulting in injuries to two individuals, one of whom was a firefighter, Los Angeles Daily News reported.
At 2:48 p.m., fire crews were dispatched to the Mariner’s Village apartment complex, located in the 4600 block of Via Marina. Flames and smoke were visible, emanating from the roof of the three-story structure.
