East Hollywood Fire Incident A significant fire broke out at the Hubbard College of Administration building located at 320 N. Vermont Ave. in East Hollywood on September 19, 2025. The fire was first reported around 9:15 a.m., prompting a swift response from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). Upon arrival, firefighters observed heavy smoke billowing from the windows of the four-story office building, which houses a private school affiliated with the Hubbard College of Administration International. In total, 114 firefighters were dispatched to tackle the blaze, which was concentrated in one third-floor room in the northeast corner of the building. The firefighting crews worked diligently to protect adjacent rooms and the floor below while managing the situation. It took just over 45 minutes for LAFD personnel to access, confine, and fully extinguish the fire, with operations concluding around 10:00 a.m. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries during the incident, largely due to the functional alarm system that alerted occupants to evacuate prior to the LAFD’s arrival. In the aftermath, firefighters initiated salvage efforts to mitigate any collateral smoke and water damage resulting from firefighting operations. Investigation and Context The cause of the fire remains under active investigation by local authorities. This incident occurred on the same day that the LAFD tackled another significant fire earlier in the morning, highlighting the challenges faced by fire departments in urban areas. The Hubbard College of Administration is known for its commitment to providing education in management and other professional disciplines. The timely response of the firefighters not only helped to contain the fire but also ensured the safety of students and staff within the building. The LAFD’s efficient response underscores the importance of fire safety measures in educational institutions and high-occupancy buildings. Fire departments are trained to handle such emergencies swiftly, aiming to minimize damage and prevent injuries. As of now, the investigation into the cause of the fire continues, and further updates are expected as authorities work to gather all relevant information.
