LAFD crews prevented a fire within a unit on the 13th story of a luxury Sawtelle apartment complex from spreading to the rest of the building.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), the incident occurred Wednesday around 6:40 a.m. at 2435 S Sepulveda Boulevard, the Linea Apartments.
It took 40 LAFD firefighters 20 minutes to “access, confine and fully extinguish a kitchen fire held-in-check by fire sprinklers within one apartment unit on the 6th floor of a 13-story apartment building,” said an LAFD spokesperson.
The LAFD reported no injuries as a result of the fire. The Department has not yet determined the cause of the fire.
