Firefighters in South Los Angeles made quick work of a structure fire in the Green Meadows neighborhood on Friday, knocking down flames at a home identified as 826 E. 112th Street, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Crews wrapped up the main firefight and shifted into overhaul as officials confirmed the blaze was out.
LAFD update
In an update posted to LAFD's official X account, the department labeled the incident "Green Meadows Knockdown" and confirmed the address as 826 E. 112th Street. The post listed Fire Station 64 among the units on scene and included links to a map and incident details, but the initial bulletin did not offer any information on the cause of the blaze or possible casualties. That brief X notice served as the department's main public communication while firefighters were still working the scene.
Neighborhood context
Green Meadows, in South Los Angeles, has seen its share of structure fires in recent years. A significant blaze there in November 2024 drew a multi-company response, according to an LAFD alert. Local reporting has chronicled more recent incidents too, including a January 2025 house fire that firefighters also knocked down quickly. Taken together, those calls help explain why fire crews often roll in with a robust response when a new alarm rings out in this part of the city.
What officials haven't released
For now, the initial X alert has not addressed what sparked the fire, whether anyone was displaced, or if there were injuries. Those details typically arrive later through formal LAFD alerts and follow-up posts on the department's social channels. This story will be updated as officials release additional information.
