Earlier today, a large fire engulfed two-story townhouses in Sun Valley, California, originating from a garage and quickly spreading to the second floor. The incident posed significant danger to neighboring properties.

The fire was successfully battled and extinguished by 106 LAFD firefighters, who rapidly achieved knockdown in 39 minutes to contain and control the flames.
