Los Angeles County Fire Department crews scrambled to a Baldwin Park home Sunday night after a residential blaze on the 12800 block of East Ramona Boulevard was bumped up to a second alarm. The fire, reported at 12828 E. Ramona Blvd, drew firefighters from Station 29 and other companies, with crews initially attacking the flames in what officials described as an offensive mode around 8:25 p.m.
What L.A. County Fire reported
According to the L.A. County Fire Department's public-information account, crews were on scene at a residential structure fire when a second alarm was requested at about 8:25 p.m. The department said that "crews are currently in offensive mode" and singled out FS 29 among the units on the call. The brief update did not include any word on injuries, evacuations or a possible cause, and officials typically wait until the scene is fully secured before releasing a more detailed incident report.
Ramona Boulevard's recent fire history
This stretch of Ramona Boulevard has already seen its share of trouble this year. A pre-dawn strip-mall inferno in January heavily damaged a flower shop and an eatery, as reported in coverage of the pre-dawn strip-mall inferno, and earlier incidents have stirred worries about fire risk along the commercial corridor. After major fires, investigators typically work with county crews to sort out cause and liability, but officials have not released any findings related to Sunday night's blaze.
What comes next
So far, authorities have not provided information on possible injuries, road closures or how the fire may have started. The L.A. County Fire Department posts follow-up details and handles report requests through the L.A. County Fire Department's incident reports portal, and officials are expected to share more once investigators wrap up their work at the scene.
