A large fire at a commercial building in the city of Commerce sent toxic smoke into the air late Saturday night.
The blaze was first reported around 9:45 p.m. in the 2900 block of Vail Avenue, which is located near the Garfield Avenue exit ramp off the 5 Freeway.
Aerial video footage obtained by KTLA shows flames consuming the building. Toxic yellow smoke was seen billowing in the air; crews on scene believed it was due to burning fiberglass but a Los Angeles County Fire Department captain later confirmed there are no concerns to neighboring businesses.

In a press release issued just before noon on Sunday, a spokesperson for S. Bravo Systems, which has a manufacturing facility at the site, stated that no one was working inside the building when the fire broke out, and that no injuries were reported.
