Los Angeles Fire Department crews rushed out early Sunday to a reported structure fire on a residential block in San Pedro, after an alert pegged the scene at 1407 W Brett Place. Units from Fire Station 36 were among those dispatched, with firefighters working the scene to knock down the flames and check the building for damage. As of the latest update, officials had not released any information about injuries or what sparked the fire.
The department sounded the alarm publicly on X at 05:47:19 UTC on May 3, 2026. The brief notice read, "LAFD Alert- San Pedro Structure Fire 1407 W Brett Pl," and came with a map and a link to incident details, according to LAFD's X post. The alert specifically listed FS36 among the companies at the scene and offered a short "DETAILS" link to track the response. That initial message, like many early alerts, did not mention injuries or a possible cause.

What We Know So Far
LAFD regularly pushes out quick, bare-bones X alerts like this while crews are still on the line. Those posts usually offer a location, a few responding companies and a map, then leave the deeper details for later once investigators and reporters have room to work. Earlier this month, a similar San Pedro call that also involved FS36 followed the same pattern, as noted in coverage of an earlier San Pedro blaze scare.
Where It Happened
Fire Station 36 is listed at 1005 N. Gaffey Street in the LAFD station directory, putting the house squarely in the Harbor area. That close range often makes FS36 a first-in company for San Pedro incidents. You can find the full lineup of stations and addresses in the LAFD station directory.
Safety And Next Steps
If you live or work near Brett Place and spot smoke or flames, call 9-1-1 immediately and follow directions from firefighters and other emergency personnel on scene. This story will be updated when LAFD releases more information about the incident, or when local outlets report confirmed details on injuries or a cause.
