Yesterday, Los Angeles firefighters managed a fire in a Vermont-Slauson apartment building. The Los Angeles Fire Department reports the fire ignited within a second-floor unit of the three-story building. A fire sprinkler in the unit helped contain the blaze until firefighters arrived to douse it.

From the time of the alarm sounding to the extinguishing of the blaze, thirteen minutes passed. The occupants of the apartment complex evaded injury. Currently, the fire's cause is under investigation.
