Fire at Sun Valley junkyard sends plume of black smoke into L.A. sky

Flames tore through a junkyard in Sun Valley on Sunday, sending a plume of thick black smoke that was visible from nearby cities.

The fire broke out shortly before 4 p.m. in the 9100 block of North Tujunga Avenue, and the blaze was fanned by winds measuring between 5 and 10 mph, said Erik Scott, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.

More than 150 firefighters battled the fire, which engulfed at least 15 vehicles in the recycling yard, Scott said. The blaze was knocked down in 2 hours and 16 minutes.

No injuries were reported and no structures were threatened. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
