ALLEN: A large fire and explosion injured at least 11 firefighters Saturday in downtown Los Angeles. You can see the plume of spoke towering into the sky. The fire department says there was a blast as crews were entering the building triggering a mayday call. It took more than 230 firefighters to extinguish the flames. Four of the injured firefighters have been admitted to a burn intensive care unit. But they are all expected to survive. We now have the first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, tropical storm Arthur has formed off of Florida's East Coast and the hurricane season hasn't started yet.</s>ALLEN: A beloved trailblazer in the United States television business has died. Phyllis George suffered for decades from a blood disorder before passing away at age 70. A self-described small-town girl, Georgia's piano-playing beauty and magnetic personality propelled her to the Miss America title in 1971. She broke ground for women as a commentator in the male world of pro football and later became first lady of Kentucky. Her son and her daughter, CNN's own senior White House correspondent Pamela Brown, confirmed her death. They called her Hurricane Phil because of her boundless energy. We have this just coming in to CNN, some good news for Spain. The country's health ministry says the number of daily deaths due to COVID-19 fell to 87 for the latest 24-hour period. That is the lowest figure in two full months and the first time in that period it's been below 100. Thank you for watching this three hours of CNN NEWSROOM.
