The reported address was 10834 W. Rose St., according to MyNewsLA. Firefighters brought the flames in the second-floor unit under control within 15 minutes.
One Civilian Being Assessed for Injury
“One civilian is being assessed for injury,” said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Jennifer Middleton, as reported by MyNewsLA.com.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, the outlet reported. It provided no further details about damage to the building or whether residents were displaced.
Smoke-detector requirements
A City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Bulletin says the municipal code requires dwelling units to have permanently installed, electrically wired smoke detectors. The bulletin does not establish whether the unit involved in Sunday's fire complied.
