Greater Alarm Structure Fire in Westwood

Department: Los Angeles Fire Department - [Los Angeles, California]


At 1:56 a.m., 10 companies of Los Angeles firefighters, one assistant chief officer command team, two battalion chief officer command teams, one Hazmat squad, one battalion EMS supervisor, and three LAFD rescue ambulances, under the direction of Assistant Chief Michael S. Fulmis, responded to a greater alarm structure fire at 1414 S. Greenfield Ave. in the Westwood area.

First units on the scene reported a three-story, garden style condo complex with fire showing from one unit on the second floor. Firefighters using handlines aggressively attacked the fire and confined it to the one unit on the second floor with some fire extension to the third floor. The fire was extinguished in approximately 34 minutes.

One occupant was inside the unit when the fire started but escaped uninjured. The occupant said the "smoke alarm" alerted her to the smoke and fire in the unit. No injuries were reported and the cause of fire is listed as careless smoking. Fire damage is estimated at $70,000 ($20,000 structure and $20,000 contents).
