Fire Breaks Out At Westchester Home

WESTCHESTER, CA — It took firefighters about 31 minutes to knock down a fire at a Westchester home early Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. No injuries were reported.

The fire broke out about 8:02 a.m. at 8357 S Vicksburg Ave., Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department said. Flames were knocked down by 8:33 a.m.

"Despite well-entrenched flames and excessive personal storage greatly hampering their movement within the 1,742 square-foot one-story home, 43 LAFD Firefighters took just 31 minutes to confine and extinguish flames in the rear of the home and attic," Humphrey said.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, Humphrey said.
