Fire damages historical museum in Pomona

Fire crews were dispatched to a historical building in Pomona after it caught fire overnight.

Preliminary information from the Los Angeles County Fire Department indicates that units were called to the Historical Society of Pomona Valley , located at 585 East Holt Avenue in Pomona, shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday.

The two-story building, which includes a museum housing historical artifacts that showcase the history of the Pomona Valley, was well-involved in flames by the time firefighters arrived.

Video from the scene shows most of the flames coming from the second floor of the wooden structure, which is over 100 years old.
