It took 37 firefighters 16 minutes Saturday to put out heavy flames that could be seen lapping through the roof of a nearly century-old Wilmington house.
The fire was reported at 6:56 p.m. Saturday at 1559 N. Marine Ave., north of Pacific Coast Highway, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Brian Humphrey.
The 1,046-square-foot, single-story home was built in 1927, Humphrey said.
No injuries were reported, he said. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
