Yesterday afternoon, firefighters responded to a blaze at a boarded-up, single-family home in Reseda, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) reported a structure fire at 18936 W Ingomar St that broke out at approximately 4:35 PM. According to the LAFD alert, the residence was "well involved in fire," prompting firefighters to take a defensive approach and request additional support to control the situation.
The LAFD successfully extinguished the flames in 23 minutes, without any injuries reported, as they managed to prevent the fire from affecting neighboring buildings. The knockdown of the fire was achieved by 48 firefighters, who, with no injuries reported, prevented the fire from extending to the two exposed buildings, as per the official LAFD knockdown notification.
There has not been a cause established for the fire yet, and investigations are ongoing. As part of the firefighting efforts, several units, including Engines 103, 104, 273, and 287, along with Trucks 73 and 87, and Rescue Ambulances 104 and 828, were dispatched to the scene from Fire Station 73, stationed in the Valley Bureau under Council District 3.
