They were trying to alert sleeping firefighters to a blaze in their own building. 164 descended from their second-story living quarters, some in shorts, others in T-shirts and flip-flops, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn . Early this morning, a fire broke out at LA County Fire Station 164 in Huntington Park. Aid also came from Los Angeles County firefighters from other stations, who helped douse the fire that destroyed a fair amount of the station. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined and will be investigated by an outside agency, likely Cal Fire , said Kenichi Haskett , a Los Angeles County Fire spokesperson.
