Firefighters battled heavy flames Monday morning in one room of a single-story Van Nuys house.
The fire was reported at 1:43 a.m. at 6706 N. Blucher Ave. and flames were showing when firefighters arrived, said the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Nicholas Prange.
Firefighters cut ventilation holes in the roof above the burning room which helped them put out the flames in 24 minutes, at 2:07 a.m., Prange said.
No injuries were reported, he said. An investigation was underway to determine the cause.
