4 injured, including 2 firefighters, in building fire near Knott’s Berry Farm, authorities say

Leave a comment

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) — At least four people were injured in a four-alarm fire Sunday at a building police believe was an illegal marijuana dispensary near Knott’s Berry Farm, authorities say.

According to the Metro Cities Fire Authority, calls began coming in about a fire at a single-story commercial building at 1169 N. Knollwood Circle just before 11:30 a.m.

Authorities tell Eyewitness News a total of four people were injured, including two firefighters who suffered burn injuries due to an explosion that occurred.

They’re currently getting treated at UCI Medical Center in Orange and police say they’re expected to be OK.

Sgt. Steve Pena of the Anaheim Police Department said a suspect was severely injured during the process and rushed to an area hospital.

“It looks like they were doing some sort of honey extraction — making hash oil (and) doing a chemical process with marijuana,” said Pena.

He added that one suspect was detained, “and, so far, he’s cooperating with our investigation.”

Firefighters from the Orange County Fire Authority and the Orange and Fullerton fire departments were assisting in the effort.

The incident remains under investigation.

The location of the fire is about two miles east of the theme park. Video submitted to ABC7 by a visitor showed a large plume of smoke visible from the park.

This is a developing story. This article will continue to be updated as more information becomes available.

Kim Kardashian Hits Knott’s Berry Farm with Pete Davidson and Pals

Leave a comment

TMZ.com

Kim Kardashian had a night out of fun with a big group of pals — including Pete Davidson, who was along for the ride … literally.

KK hit Knott’s Berry Farm Friday night with Pete, Kourtney, Travis Barker, Tracy Romulus (SKIMS CMO) and her husband, Steph Shepherd, Harry Hudson and a couple of other friends of PD’s … who were going through mazes and getting on rides too.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, of Pete and Kim getting off one rollercoaster together … where they shared a cart, sitting side by side. As you can see, Kim was tryin to be all incognito — but eyewitnesses recognized her nonetheless.

There’s no PDA or anything here, and that’s for a reason — sources with direct knowledge tell us Kim and Pete are NOT dating, they’re simply friends … and have been for a while, well before her ‘SNL’ appearance. Everyone, we’re told, was invited by Kourt and Trav.

Although people on the ground who saw them enter and exit this ride tell us Kim and Pete appeared to be somewhat isolated from the group (almost as if they were a couple) … our sources say there’s no truth to that assumption. They’re not romantically involved at all.

As you know … Kim is, indeed, single — and Pete appears to be single himself. But that, in and of itself, doesn’t mean much at all. They clearly run in the same circles — especially with the MGK/Travis connection stronger than ever these days … so it’s not crazy they hang out.

Knott’s Berry Farm started as a roadside berry stand in the 1920s and has since grown into a theme park that includes rides, stage shows and other entertainment. Its Buena Park location is about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

The park reopened in May after a shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic.
