A boarded-up former hotel in Downtown Los Angeles that was featured on the cover of the 1970 Doors album “Morrison Hotel” was engulfed by a fire on Thursday.jilipark
The fire brought down the building’s roof but did not result in any injuries, the city’s Fire Department said.
The building, in the heart of the city’s Skid Row neighborhood, had not been used commercially for more than 15 years, the department said. But about 25 people who were homeless had been congregating inside before the fire, said Mark Dyer, the vice president of operations for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which owns the building.
The Los Angeles Fire Department, which sent more than 100 firefighters to battle the blaze on Thursday morning, said it had rescued three people. A large group evacuated on their own, according to the Fire Department.

It took firefighters more than 90 minutes to extinguish the fire, according to the Fire Department, which released footage of large clouds of dark smoke gushing out of the brick building’s upper floors as flames lit up its window frames.

Democratic Senate candidates in a number of swing states, including Arizona and Nevada, have consistently polled ahead of the top of the ticket, especially when President Biden was the party’s standard-bearer. As Ms. Harris’s nomination has made the election more competitive, the gap between her and those down-ballot Democrats has narrowed — but the trend persists in most races in swing states.
