Firefighters Saturday knocked down an attic fire at a single-story Craftsman-style home in Boyle Heights built in 1912.
A total of 36 firefighters dispatched at 10:01 a.m. to 948 S. Bernal Ave. had the blaze out within 25 minutes of their arrival, said Nicholas Prange of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Firefighters entered the structure to gather belongings and cover them, in anticipation of the water to be deployed above in the attic space,” Prange said. “Crews ascended ladders to the roof and coordinated with companies below for timely rooftop ventilation.”
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
