Two people suffered apparently minor injuries Saturday evening when fire broke out in one unit of a Hollywood apartment building.
The fire was reported at 7:05 p.m. in the two-story, garden-style building at 1249 N. Mansfield Ave., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Margaret Stewart.
Firefighters put out the flames in 18 minutes, containing the damage to the unit of origin, Stewart said.
“The sole occupant of the unit was outside the structure on LAFD arrival and is being transported with probable smoke inhalation and minor burns,” Stewart said. A person who helped rescue animals from the burning unit was evaluated and “likely to decline transport,” she said.
No other injuries were reported.
