Crews took about 20 minutes Thursday to snuff a pesky fire in a boarded-up home in the Florence section of South Los Angeles.
No injuries were reported as a result of the fire, which was reported about 8:30 a.m. Thursday at 5836-1/2 S. Brentwood St., east of the Harbor (110) Freeway and just south of Slauson Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Margaret Stewart, an LAFD spokeswoman, said the fire was in a boarded-up, one-story, single-family home.
Thirty-six firefighters responded, she said, adding that crews had to rip open the home’s walls to locate all the flames and put the blaze out.
