• A major fire broke out in Little Tokyo/downtown area of Los Angeles on Saturday at a hash oil supplier


• Blaze occurred close to Skid Row residents, senior and low income housing forcing people to shelter indoors


• Eleven firefighters were injured after an explosion occurred without warning while fire was being tackled


• The fire has resulted in a massive response by the LA Fire Department with 230 firefighters now at the scene


• The building was a warehouse for SmokeTokes, a supplier of 'butane honey oil'


• Butane is an odorless gas that easily ignites, and it's used in the process to extract the high-inducing chemical THC from cannabis plants to create a highly potent concentrate also known as hash oil
