What the department reported
According to LAFD, the call was logged as incident INC#1259 in the department’s South Bureau. The alert lists battalion chiefs, several engine companies, ladder and rescue units, and crews from Fire Station 64 among those who rolled in. LAFD’s update put the knockdown time at about 4:50 p.m. and cited roughly 33 personnel assigned to the response.
Where it happened
The fire was reported at 310 E. 111th Place in Green Meadows, a South Los Angeles neighborhood that falls within City Council District 8, according to the district’s website. District 8 covers a wide stretch of South LA, running through communities from Baldwin Hills toward Watts, so a house fire here is very much on city leaders’ radar.
Broader context
The call landed in the middle of an already busy month for city firefighters. A recent Hoodline report noted that LAFD had handled about 90 structure fires so far in April. The department’s initial alert on the Green Meadows incident did not specify a cause, and officials had not released any damage estimates or additional details at the time of publication.
