The fire was reported at 9:18 p.m. Tuesday in the 3000 block of North Lashbrook Avenue, near Garvey Avenue, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Jonathan Torres.

The fire was out at 9:33 p.m., Torres said.

At least one of the patients was found on the second floor, Torres said.

The two patients were taken to a hospital in ambulances, their conditions unknown, he said.

Video from the scene showed firefighters reviving a dog with oxygen and Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies helping put the dog in an animal control truck.
