from www.patch.com – Vivid Entertainment, the leading producer and distributor in adult entertainment, caught fire Saturday night, causing both sides of Cahuenga Boulevard to be closed off for a few hours.
The porn distributor considers itself in Studio City, although it is only a few blocks from the official boundaries, located at 3599 Cahuenga Boulevard near Universal City. No one was injured in the blaze, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman.
Local resident, 12-year-old Georgia Fanthorpe, lives on the hill near the building and sent them to Studio City Patch.
“Tonight there was a fire at the Vivid Entertainment office building near to Universal City, and as it’s close to my house I walked over and took some photos,” Fanthorpe said. “The traffic on Cahuenga Boulevard was stopped in both directions and there were at least seven fire trucks, as well as ambulances and smaller LAFD vehicles, but I don’t think anyone was hurt.”
The fire was reported at 7:16 p.m. and it was contained to an air conditioning unit on the roof of the building and did not go into the offices below at all, according to fire department spokesman Cecil Manresa. A cause has yet to be determined.
The company is known for adult spoofs of Batman and Star Wars as well as distributing sex tapes of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
Immediately, porn fans, followers and stars themselves began making jokes about the fire. Mo Reese @MOXXX wrote:
According to a made up source, #AHF will be having a press conference, to tell us how condoms would have prevented the Vividfire.

Just heard the Vivid Entertainment building is on fire. Too many choices for this one…
From www.laweekly.com – The fire was mainly confined to the roof, according to Cecil Manresa of the LA Fire Dept.: He said those kinds of blazes “usually” involved rooftop equipment (heating, air conditioning and the like), but the cause at this point was still yet-to-be determined.
Eighty-four firefighters were sent to the emergency, Manresa said. The flames were doused by the L.A.’s finest first-responders in 22 minutes.
