A person was found dead Friday at the scene of a house fire in the Eagle Rock area.
Firefighters sent to the 1400 block of West Hepner Avenue at 8:05 a.m. extinguished the flames in the single-story building in about a half-hour, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Three occupants escaped, but sadly, one person was found deceased inside the structure,” Nicholas Prange of the LAFD said in a statement. “No other residents or firefighters were injured.”
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
