L.A. Charter School Blaze is a Grim Reminder of the Dangers of Structural Fires

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In Southern California, this has been a particularly harsh summer for fire danger, with various structural fire serving as a reminder of the importance of the top-grade commercial fire alarm systems from Tujunga to Downtown L.A. provided by such firms as Global Fire Technologies, Inc.. One of the most dramatic of these fires broke out late last month at Animo South Los Angeles Charter High School, causing enough damage that the school was declared "a total loss," according to officials.

"The fire's origin was in the attic," said Rick Flores, the Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector. "The cause was determined to be an electrical problem whose origin was not specifically known." The Los Angeles Times reports that since classes were not yet in session, there were no students, staff, or teachers on campus. However, three firefighters suffered minor injuries. In the wake of the devastating fire, administrators and teachers will no doubt be experiencing even more stress than usual – an issue that is certainly in no short supply in the challenging Los Angeles school system. If there is any silver lining when a severe structural fire breaks out, it can only be that it serves as an important reminder of the necessity of fire prevention measures from an expert fire safety team.
