Firefighters battled a "major emergency" fire at an auto parts shop in Hollywood on Saturday. 

The fire was first reported at around 4:20 p.m. in the 1300 block of N. Highland Avenue, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Fire Department. 

Crews arrived and found heavy smoke showing from the roof of the building, which is part of an L-shaped one-story strip mall.

After about 10 minutes, large flames began to protrude from the roof, which was visible with SkyCal overhead. Firefighters could be seen attempting to fight the flames from above via a ladder. 

Crews reported that the building suffered a "structural compromise" as a result of the fire. It appeared to be an AutoZone from SkyCal. 

It's unclear how the fire started and if any injuries were suffered. 

Highland Avenue between De Longpre Avenue and Lexington Avenue were closed to the public until firefighters had concluded their firefight. 

This is a developing story. Check back for details.
