April 18--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 100 firefighters were battling the fire, which engulfed at least 15 vehicles in the recycling yard, Scott said. No structures were threatened by the fire.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
