Firefighters knocked down a fire in several trees adjacent to a two-story duplex structure in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles Sunday.

The fire was reported shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday at 6081 W. Cashio St., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames in the trees and worked in offensive mode utilizing fire attack hose lines with vertical ventilation to keep the fire from spreading vertically or horizontally in four exposed two-story structures.

The department used 36 firefighters who were able to extinguish flames in all exposed structures in 52 minutes. LAFD resources remained on the scene performing salvage and overhaul.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire was not immediately clear, but the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power was notified for downed power lines.
