(Thanks to Andrew Doyle for the alert on this story.)
Pre-arrival video above from octavius07 and post arrival video below from SprodeBoy of a Sunday morning “major emergency” fire in a Hollywood, California commercial building.
Heavy smoke could be seen coming from a one-story commercial structure located in the 1000 block of North Orange Drive, according to an alert from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Firefighters reported that part of the roof had collapsed and that chrome plating of the structure was causing flare-ups.

The burning building housed the Highland Plating Co., according to the business’s website.
After a section of the roof collapsed, firefighters transitioned to a defensive operation before making progress against the “stubborn” flames, Main said.
A hazmat team was monitoring water runoff and diking storm drains, she said. The runoff was deemed to be “neutral.”
