Flames damaged a boarded-up single-story house in the Green Mountain area of Los Angeles Tuesday, but firefighters doused the flames in 32 minutes with no injuries reported.
The fire was reported at 11:34 a.m. in the 11600 block of South Avalon Boulevard near the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Gayle Sonoda.
Firefighters took up defensive positions outside the house to drown flames from a safe distance while protecting surrounding structures, Sonoda said. The house was boarded up and had previously burned.
The fire was declared out at 12:07 p.m.
The cause of the fire was unknown.
