Bible spared as bleachers burn in Gardena Catholic high school fire
Los Angeles County Fire officials are investigating the cause of an early morning fire at St. Junípero Serra High School in Gardena’s school’s football field Nov. 20.
Crews responded after a 911 caller reported the fire around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. Aerial footage from local TV station KTLA 5 showed firefighters battling flames in the field’s press box and a section of the bleachers just before 6 a.m., well before classes were scheduled to begin.
No one was injured in the fire, which also damaged a few utility rooms connected to the bleacher area. It was unclear when or where exactly the fire began, and what caused it. The damaged press box and bleacher stands that burned will have to be replaced or repaired.
