The LAFD launched an offensive attack, working to simultaneously combat the blaze and ensure the safety of potential occupants. "Firefighters proceeded in offensive mode -- breaching entrances to fight fire and search for victims, and ascending to the roof to ventilate pressurized smoke and heat," the LAFD statement detailed. Full extinguishment was achieved in 35 minutes, with 37 firefighters at the scene diligently working to quell the flames before they could spread to nearby structures.
The incident was managed by a coordinated effort involving multiple fire service units, including Battalion Chiefs 18 and 5, as well as Engines 27, 61, 97, and several others. Paramedic units RA27 and RA827 were also on the scene, as per the routine protocol to provide medical support if needed. According to the LAFD alert, specialized teams like T27 and T61 were involved in the roof operations.
