Person Injured in Fire at Two-Story, Boarded Home in Hollywood

A person was pulled from a fire Sunday at a large two-story, boarded up Craftsman home in Hollywood, authorities said.

Crews dispatched at 4:30 a.m. Sunday to 6720 W. Sunset Blvd., near Highland Avenue, reported “heavy fire” on both floors of the structure, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Seventy firefighters knocked down the blaze within an hour and 12 minutes of their arrival. There was some extension of the fire to two exposed bungalows, but the degree of extension was not immediately clear.

Firefighters used a ladder to rescue a 42-year-old man from the second floor after hearing his calls for help, authorities said. The rescued person was treated at the scene for a minor wound to the arm before being taken to a hospital in fair condition with no burn injuries, authorities said.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
