(CBS) LOS ANGELES At least one person was hospitalized with smoke
inhalation and a family was displaced when a fire erupted in a
four-story apartment building in the Little Armenia district of Los
Angeles, authorities said.
The fire broke out at 12:22 a.m. in the 5400 block of Sierra Vista
Avenue near Western Avenue, said a Los Angeles Fire Department
captain, adding that the blaze was knocked down at 12:46 a.m. and
that no firefighters were hurt.
Another senior firefighter, a battalion chief, said that arriving
firefighters found a room in a ground floor unit ablaze and
three people -- two adults and a child -- suffering from smoke
inhalation. One person was taken to a hospital, he said.
The fire was contained to that apartment, whose occupants were
displaced, but firefighters used a ladder to rescue at least one
person from the second floor, the battalion chief said.
He said the fire appears to have started when something was being
cooked.
