A Greater Alarm structure fire broke out early Saturday morning at a one-story commercial building in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Los Angeles, resulting in the death of an adult male. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) conducted defensive firefighting operations at the location, 832 E Manchester Avenue, designated as FS33, and declared the building to be abandoned. The building was engulfed in flames, and the roof had collapsed by the time crews arrived. Following the extinguishing of the fire, which was fully doused by 2:30 a.m., authorities discovered an illegal cannabis operation inside the burned structure. An hour later, they discovered a deceased man in the smoldering structure. The LAFD and local media have reported on the incident, with the fire marshal's office conducting an investigation.
