A small roofing fire at a Studio City home under construction was declared out by firefighters Wednesday afternoon, wrapping up a brief scare on a quiet residential block. The initial notice listed the incident at 4318 N Wilkinson Ave, where crews found and contained a small outside roofing fire on a two-story single-family dwelling. No injuries were reported and the flames did not spread into the building.
What the department reported
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department alerts page, the call was logged as INC#1095 and the incident was declared out at 3:47 p.m. The department bulletin described the scene as “a small outside roofing fire” at the two-story dwelling under construction and listed Fire Station 78, Battalion 14 and several Valley Bureau units among the responders. The entry stated that “no injuries are reported” and closed the book on the run with “nothing further.”
Units on scene and neighborhood context
The alerts list showed engines, trucks and Battalion 14 among the companies assigned to the call while crews mopped up hot spots and checked for any fire extension. Neighbors reported seeing multiple engines and at least one ladder company on site as firefighters worked to secure the roof and clear the scene.
The call follows a busy spring for Valley crews. On May 3, a Sun Valley duplex blaze on N Wilkinson Avenue also drew a heavy response from area stations.
Safety and next steps
The department did not release a cause or damage estimate in the initial alert; investigators typically need additional time at construction sites to determine how and where a fire started. For real-time updates and any neighborhood advisories, residents are encouraged to monitor official LAFD channels and local emergency alerts, and to call 911 if they encounter hazards or persistent smoke.
This post will be updated if officials release additional details about the incident or the status of the building.
