KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0321; 12:04PM; 14335 W Sherman Wy; https://bit.ly/3Ip6uCS; Van Nuys; LAFD crews on scene of a law enforcement standby noticed smoke, and subsequently fire, coming from a third-floor unit of a three-story center-hallway apartment building at 11:40 AM, and upgraded the assignment to a structure fire response. Forty-two firefighters engaged in fire attack to confine the fire to the unit of origin, and extinguish the flames in 24 minutes, however smoke and water damage were more widespread than the fire damage. Firefighters assisted some residents with evacuation, and instructed others to shelter in place (remain in their unit with doors closed). One adult male patient in LAPD custody was transported to an area hospital with burn injuries. Several pets were affected: at least two felines deceased, others injured and fled, and one canine suffered smoke inhalation. Firefighters supported the canine until animal services arrived. The cause of the fire is under active investigation. MEDIA: PIO Firefighter David Ortiz is on scene for media needs. If media response will be delayed, please communicate that with LAFD Media Desk.; FS 81; Batt 10; Valley Bureau; Council District 2; AR1 BC10 BC12 CM42 E239 E290 E39 E81 E89 PI2 RA81 RA881 RA89 T39 T90 TL1 TM2 TM3; CH8; 12 18; Nicholas Prange
