Official alert
According to a post by the Los Angeles Fire Department on X, crews were dispatched to 17706 W Martha St for a structure fire, and the department later marked the scene "fire out." The alert referenced FS83 among the responding units and linked to a map for those looking to pinpoint the exact location.
Where it happened

Response and context
Fire Station 83 covers much of Encino and frequently appears in LAFD incident summaries for Valley calls. The Los Angeles Fire Department alerts archive shows Valley Bureau companies responding to several nearby structure fires in recent months, and this West Martha Street incident is the latest to make that log.
For now, the department's short social media post stands as the only official word on what happened at the property. Officials have not released any additional details about possible injuries or the fire's cause, and an expanded incident narrative has yet to appear.
