An attic fire in a one-store house in Hollywood that was being used as a business was extinguished in 19 minutes by 32 firefighters Wednesday evening with no injuries reported.
Firefighters responded to the fire in the 1400 block of North Las Palmas Avenue, near Sunset Boulevard, shortly after 8:55 p.m., according to Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
A “well-developed” attic fire prevented firefighters from extending down into the structure, prompting them to instead conduct salvage operations to protect the belongings inside the structure, Stewart said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
