Byline: -- Daily News

NORTH HOLLYWOOD -- A fire damaged four units of a strip mall Sunday, but nobody was injured, authorities said.

The fire in the 5400 block of North Whitsett Avenue broke out about 12:30 p.m., said Brian Ballton, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It took firefighters about 25 minutes to put out the flames, and most of the damage was confined to one of the units. The mall houses a cell phone business, self-service laundry, cleaners and market.

Investigators have not determined a cause and have not tabulated a damage amount.
