Two-story house fire with gas meter ignition in Los Angeles, Los Angeles CA
Fire & ArsonA fire broke out in a two-story craftsman house near Marmion Way in Los Angeles. The fire heavily involved the first floor and was spreading toward the second floor. Firefighters deployed multiple engines and crews, conducted searches, and managed fire attack on different sides of the building. There was a concern about brush fires nearby, which were addressed. The gas meter was on fire, requiring teams to shut off the gas to prevent further hazards. No basement was found, but there was a large crawl space under the house. Primary searches were clear, and the front porch was reported burned out. Fire was knocked down on the Alpha side, with heavy smoke on the second floor but no fire spread there yet. Units coordinated to control the fire and prepared for further actions.
