    Los Angeles firefighter battled a blaze this morning that engulfed the entire sixth floor of an apartment building in the Koreatown section of the city, according to KTLA-TV.

    Crews responded to the fire at the six-story Versailles Apartments along the 600 block of St. Andrews Place at approximately 8:37 a.m., department spokesman Brian Humphrey told the news station.
