According to the LAFD, the one-story residence was found with "heavy fire showing" upon the firefighters' arrival. Crews employed a defensive strategy, staying outside the structure, to douse the voracious flames with large volumes of water—circumventing the home in their effort to fully extinguish the fire.

In what can be considered a fortunate turn of events amidst the calamity, no injuries were reported as a result of the blaze.
