A fire damaged a two-story residence in Sherman Oaks Thursday, but no one was hurt.
Firefighters sent to the 14100 block of Dickens Street at 10:29 a.m. extinguished the flames in 34 minutes, said Nicholas Prange of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“The fire appeared to have been caused by a roofing operation atop a two-story residential building,” Prange said in a statement.
“The fire burned down through the roof and into the walls,” Prange said. “Firefighters simultaneously performed salvage operations — which gathers and covers belongings to protect from smoke and water that come from opening the walls — (while) putting out the fire.”
