A fire at a vacant residence where at least four previous fires had occurred was extinguished Friday in Boyle Heights.
Firefighters were called at 1:51 a.m. to a two-story Craftsman style home at 436 Boyle Ave. west of South Slate Street and the Golden State (5) Freeway and encountered a well-involved fire with flames threatening three nearby structures, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
Fire crews were able to prevent fire damage to the nearby structures except one.
It took 50 firefighters 36 minutes to put the fire out.
No injuries were reported.
