Structure Fire, Power Lines Explode in Long Beach.

On Monday July 4, 2022 at approximately 8:42pm, Long Beach Fire and Long Beach Police responded to a garage fire in the alley rear of 2000 Block Lime Avenue.

Upon arrival, firefighters located a garage in the alley fully engulfed with fire and smoke. Down power lines on fire we’re observed exploding, LBFD firefighters had to push back until the electrical wires were stable.

LBFD gained access to the property by using their power tools and cutting the metal gate open to extinguish the fire and protect surrounding buildings from catching fire.

LBFD worked quickly to extinguish this fire and went over hotspots, LBFD arson is investigating this incident, it is unknown at this time the cause of this fire.

LBPD worked on crowd control in the area and moving everyone back due to the down active power lines.

No firefighters or civilians were hurt during this incident. #longbeach

Long Beach Local News has teamed up with @lbanimal

Long Beach Local News has teamed up with @lbanimalcare to help some animals find their ‘fur ever’ homes!

Meet Bowie (#A661312), a very special 2 year old German Shepherd mix. Bowie came to aCS as a stray in August of 2021. He was so incredibly undersocialized and completely terrified that it took months for anyone to be able to handle him. Slowly he bonded with his favorite volunteers and began to understand that people were good and brought treats and affection and kindness. Bowie will need a patient, dog savvy owner to provide the guidance and reassurance he'll need as he slowly builds his confidence with the great big world outside of the shelter. He's very dog friendly and might benefit from having a relaxed, confident sibling to help show him the way. He's loving, affectionate and bonds tightly to those he loves and trusts. We can only guess at the sad, lonely life Bowie had before coming to LBACS and now after spending nearly 11 months at the shelter this young dog deserves to see how wonderful life in a good home can be

The shelter is over capacity. Please help network this gorgeous pup! Self-schedule an appointment to visit him at http://LBACS.as.me . You're also welcome to stop by during our new open walk-in hours every Wednesday through Sunday from 11-3:00.

If you can help foster, adopt or rescue, please email animalrescue@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov.
