Firefighters douse another blaze at boarded-up Jergins Tunnel under Ocean Boulevard

Firefighters put out a blaze that was burning Saturday morning in the Jergins Tunnel that runs under Ocean Boulevard, marking the second time fire crews have been called to the closed-off tunnel this year.

The fire started shortly before 8:30 a.m. Saturday. Firefighters said smoke was seen coming from the boarded-up area, said Long Beach Fire Department Capt. Jack Crabtree.

Accessing the fire was “labor-intensive,” Crabtree said, adding that firefighters had to take down plywood before they could douse the flaming debris inside.
