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.

Flames erupted on the rooftop of a building famous for housing the offices of one of the world's largest porn studios, Vivid Entertainment in the Cahuenga Pass.
Hot stuff, indeed: Luckily, no one was hurt in the making of this blaze.
The fire at 3599 Cahuenga Boulevard near Universal City was reported at 7:16 p.m., Cecil Manresa of the L.A. Fire Department told the Weekly:
Fortunately for the porno nation it appears that flames did not reach "any floors below the roof," he said. No injuries were reported either.
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.
Cue bow-chicka-wow-wow music.
