A man who experienced smoke exposure was transported to a hospital from a greater-alarm fire Thursday at a two-story apartment in Sherman Oaks.
His condition was not immediately known, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Another civilian at a nearby address is currently being evaluated at scene by LAFD paramedics for an unspecified medical complaint,” said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Firefighters dispatched at 8:38 a.m. to 13420 W. Huston St., a couple of blocks east of Woodman Avenue, took 28 minutes to knock down a fire that quickly extended from one first-floor unit to a pair of units on the second floor at the two-story, 76-year-old structure, Humphrey said.
No other injuries were reported and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
