A massive fire broke out at a vehicle storage yard off the 105 Freeway in South Los Angeles, sending flames and thick black smoke into the air. The blaze erupted when several gas trucks caught fire, forcing officials to shut down all westbound lanes of the freeway for a brief period.

Firefighters rushed to the scene and worked quickly to contain the flames, preventing the fire from spreading further across the yard. No injuries were immediately reported, though the incident caused significant traffic delays and alarm among nearby residents.

Authorities are investigating what triggered the fire, while environmental crews are assessing any potential hazards from the burning fuel.

The freeway has since reopened, but officials continue to monitor the site for flare-ups and safety concerns.
