Fire broke out Saturday afternoon in a first-floor unit of a two-story North Hollywood apartment building, but firefighters were able to contain it quickly.
The fire was reported at 2:27 p.m. Saturday at 5942 N. Tujunga Ave., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Margaret Stewart. The location is between Oxnard and Tiara streets.
The incident was originally reported as an electrical failure but firefighters found flames in the bathroom of the unit, Stewart said. They put out the fire in 18 minutes before it could spread beyond the bathroom, she said.
No injuries were reported, although firefighters were searching for an animal who might have been in the unit at the time of the fire.
