Crews battle strip mall fire
A fire ripped through a Torrance strip mall early Monday morning.
Firefighters from multiple agencies were called to the 22200 block of Palos Verdes Boulevard around 2 a.m. Monday.
One of those businesses included Texas Loosey’s, a beloved saloon and BBQ restaurant that had been there for over four decades. The owner, who didn’t want to speak on camera, started working there as an employee before he eventually took over the business.
