"All 23 crew members have been accounted for and no injuries have been reported from the electrical fire, which appears to have started below deck, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The ship's cargo includes hazardous materials. Four terminals were shut down due to the incident, and a shelter-in-place was issued for people nearby. A total of 40 containers were burning and containment was at 0%."
""LAFD continues fire-suppression efforts and is monitoring air quality," L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said in a post on X. "The City is monitoring this active incident closely." The blaze was reported around 6:38 p.m. with 124 LAFD personnel responding, according to the fire department. The Long Beach Fire Department and Port Police also assisted. AIR7 was over the scene as fireboats sprayed water on the ship as smoke billowed into the sky."
An electrical fire broke out below deck on the 1,102-foot container ship One Henry Hudson docked at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro Friday evening. All 23 crew members were accounted for and no injuries were reported. The vessel carries hazardous materials and about 40 containers were burning with containment at 0%. Fire crews from the Los Angeles and Long Beach departments and Port Police responded, with fireboats spraying water. An explosion mid-deck later disrupted ship power and crane operations. Four terminals were closed, a shelter-in-place was issued and a one-nautical-mile safety zone was established.
