A vegetation fire that burned next to a vacant one-story home in East Hollywood Wednesday was knocked down within 10 minutes.
Firefighters quickly deployed hose lines to extinguish the threatening flames next to a residence in the 500 block of North Madison Avenue, between Virgil and Vermont avenues, near the Hollywood (101) Freeway, to prevent the fire from extending into the home, according to Nicholas Prange with the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The flames were extinguished around 6:25 p.m. with no reported injuries.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
