On Monday, September 8,  at 5:25 AM, 5 Companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, 2 LAFD Rescue Ambulances, 3 Arson Units, 1 EMS Battalion Captain, and 1 Battalion Chief Officer Command Team, under the direction of Battalion Chief Michael Greenup responded to a Structure Fire With a Civilian Fatality at 3448 S. Colonial Av. in Mar Vista/Del Rey.

Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire showing from a single-family home. It took twenty-five Firefighters just twenty minutes to contain the fire.

During a search of the home, a 37 year-old female was discovered deceased inside. The cause has been determined to be "accidental, most probably related to candles."

The dollar loss has yet to be determined.
