KOREATOWN (CBSLA) - More than 100 Los Angeles firefighters helped put out flames on Saturday at a senior apartment building in Koreatown.

When LAFD crew members arrived, they could see flames coming out of a second-floor unit.
It's unclear what caused the fire but it is currently under investigation.
"The self evacuation of many residents was calmly underway on LAFD arrival, with some residents subsequently assisted to safely shelter in place under the supervision of LAFD responders,'' Brian Humphrey said.
