Office paper keeps fire burning for 14 hours.

 

The Los Angeles warehouse outlet of one of California’s largest office products suppliers has been destroyed by a huge fire.

 

More than 120 firefighters were dispatched last Sunday (10 May) to the head office of Bluebird Office Supplies in downtown LA, where they battled the blaze for more than 14 hours.

 

The fire was initially under control but later surged as pallets of office paper reignited along with other highly flammable office products.

 

Firefighters tried to contain the blaze by using a forklift and heavy machinery to pull boxes of office supplies and pallets of paper out of the building. 

 

No one was inside the two-storey building at the time, but a firefighter was transported to hospital with minor injuries.

 

Bluebird Office Supplies was founded in 1982 and carries more than 58,000 products across multiple outlets.
