An early morning blaze in a Hollywood apartment building was snuffed out by the quick action of Los Angeles firefighters today. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire on 7200 W Hollywood Blvd, where a two-story garden-style apartment had flames erupting from one of its units. The fire, which broke out around 2:45 AM, was successfully contained within 22 minutes by the responding team.

According to the official LAFD website, it took 26 firefighters to not only contain but also to completely extinguish the fire to the unit of origin. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire, and the cause is currently under investigation by the authorities.

The damage was reportedly confined to the single unit where the fire started, a fortunate outcome in what could have easily been a more devastating incident. Firefighters from stations including FS 41, Batt 5, and West Bureau assembled quickly to address the emergency. Additional support was provided by crews from E227, E235, E261, E27, E41, E76, E82, RA41, RA827, T27, T35, T61, BC5, and BC706, as cited in the LAFD alert.

Nicholas Prange, a spokesperson for the LAFD, said in a statement, "It took 26 firefighters 22 minutes to contain the fire to the unit of origin and extinguish the flames." This rapid response helped to prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the building. Residents were spared a greater catastrophe thanks to the firefighters' swift and coordinated efforts.

The aftermath of the event leaves residents and the building management facing the clean-up and repair of the impacted unit. In the wake of the fire, the local community awaits the findings of the ongoing investigation, hoping for answers on how the fire started and how similar incidents might be prevented in the future.
