Crews knocked down a fire at an apartment building in Highland Park Thursday, and a 70-year-old woman was being evaluated for possible injuries.
The fire was reported at 1:03 p.m. in the 200 block of North Avenue 54, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The first arriving companies encountered flames coming from a second-floor unit in the rear of the two-story building, according to LAFD spokeswoman Lyndsey Lantz.
Firefighters ventilated the roof and attacked the flames inside the building, she said.
The fire was out in 19 minutes, Lantz said.
An update on the woman’s condition was not immediately available.
