Scooter batteries found in basement of Koreatown fire that left 1 critically wounded
Firefighters found multiple lithium-ion batteries used to power scooters in the basement of a two-story house fire that left four people injured, including one who was in critical condition in Koreatown Friday morning.
Emergency crews were called to the updated four-plex in the 400 block of South Gramercy Place around 8:30 a.m.
The blaze was extinguished in about 30 minutes but firefighters quickly located four patients, the Los Angeles Fire Department stated in a news alert.
“One patient was pulled from the basement in critical condition and transported to a local area hospital,” the Fire Department stated. Several scooter batteries were also found in the basement with the patient.
A second person was assisted out of a second-story window and down a Fire Department ladder before being assessed for smoke inhalation.
A third patient was also being checked for smoke inhalation and the fourth person was being assessed for other injuries, the Fire Department stated.
Firefighters primarily contained the blaze to the basement with some extension into the first floor of the building.
No firefighters were injured in the incident.
