"LOS ANGELES - Fire erupted at the top of a downtown
high-rise Friday morning, but there were no reports of injuries.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's headquarters is one
of the city's newer office towers, more than 25 stories tall.
The blaze erupted shortly after 10 a.m. Images from TV
helicopters showed flames coming from the roof. It was not
immediately clear to what extent the interior of the upper floors
was affected.
Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said there was an
orderly evacuation of the office tower and no injuries reported.
Nearby Union Station was not threatened, he said.
The $300 million Gateway center is part of the city's new
transportation hub for the Red Line subway, Amtrak and Metrolink
trains and bus lines."
