"An early morning fire hit longtime Arts District restaurant Urth Caffe. The corner space on Hewitt Street started kicking up smoke in the pre-dawn hours, and nearly 100 firefighters responded to the growing blaze before it was fully extinguished. The fire started in the roasting area, leaving the dining side relatively unscathed. The restaurant has been one of the busiest in the Arts District since it opened in 2008, with additional locations in Pasadena, West Hollywood, Laguna Beach, and Hawthorne." - Farley Elliott
