Vehicle fire spreads to Chatsworth townhome as firefighters attack blaze
Los Angeles firefighters went into offensive mode Wednesday morning after a fire ripped through at least one unit in a row of Chatsworth townhomes.
The fire was first reported around 11:30 a.m. on the 10100 block of North Larwin Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Large plumes of white smoke billowed from at least one of the units within a row of townhomes, video from Sky5 showed.
Officials said the fire started as a vehicle fire in the attached garage of one unit before fully engulfing the garage and possible extending into the adjoining living space.
Firefighters attacked the blaze to keep it from spreading to adjacent properties, and by 11:55 a.m., it appeared the fire was losing steam.
Crews benefited from Mother Nature, with morning rain drenching much of the area in the morning and expected to continue off and on throughout the day.
KTLA’s Rich Prickett in Sky5 said the occupants of the home were able to safely evacuate without injury, which LAFD later confirmed.
Additional fire crews were called to the scene, and firefighters were conducting “a primary and secondary search” to ensure the blaze didn’t spread further.
