Structure Fire; INC#0025; 01:20AM; 1084 W Leighton Av; http://bit.ly/31WDwV8; Exposition Park; KNOCKDOWN: 53 firefighters extinguished fire under heavy smoke conditions in a one-story home in 34 minutes. Firefighters arrived to find reports of people still inside of the burning structure, that appeared to be a board-and-care. The primary search team found one person in grave condition. As they were pulling the first patient out of the back door, they found a second patient (also in grave condition) just inside the rear exit of the home. Firefighters initiated CPR on scene outside of the house and both patients were transported to local hospitals by firefighter/paramedics. One Engineer working at the pump panel in the street heard reports of multiple patients being rescued and ran around to the rear of the house to assist with pulling them out the back door. He suffered minor smoke inhalation injuries while assisting in the rescue and was transported to a local hospital as a precaution. At least 8 adults and 4 children were displaced by this fire. Conflicting reports say multiple occupants could still be unaccounted for, but no other patients were found in the structure during primary or secondary search (possibly evacuated and have not returned). Red Cross is responding to assist these families during this difficult time. The cause of the fire is under active investigation; FS 46; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 8; AR1 AR5 BC13 E10 E15 E215 E226 E266 E34 E46 E66 EM11 PH1 RA15 RA246 RA266 RA34 RA46 RA846 T15 T26 T66; CH7; 12; - Nicholas Prange

Update Hazardous Materials Investigation; INC#0955; 05:30PM; 2820 W Slauson Av; http://bit.ly/2Nj75Mz; Hyde Park; 36 Firefighters, including LAFD HazMat experts using sophisticated sensing equipment, remain active at the scene. They have noted the presence of flammable vapors on the premises, and are attempting to identify the precise product/s and source of fumes. There is no fire, no illness and no injury. Out of an abundance of caution, LAFD has asked an unknown number of occupants from the investigation site and two adjacent structures (for a total of 3 buildings) to leave the immediate area until the situation is stabilized. Those persons are waiting comfortably nearby, and may be placed on Metro transit buses (en route) to be taken to a remote shelter site if and as necessary. Slauson Boulevard will remain fully closed in both directions between 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue until LAFD operations are complete; FS 66; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 8; Radio Channels: 7; 13; - Brian Humphrey
