Initial entry was delayed by furniture blocking the doorway (appeared to be intentional barricade). One adult male (late 60s) appeared to have jumped from a second story window and was beyond medical help prior to LAFD arrival, due to traumatic injuries. No other occupants inside the fire unit (and no transport from the scene). No other patients. LAFD Arson Investigators and LAPD are on scene investigating the cause of the fire and the circumstances of the man's death. Knockdown of the flames was declared after 21 minutes (4:04 AM).

Update Brush Fire; INC#0013; 08:30AM; 1300 N Sepulveda Bl; https://bit.ly/2Zr6a0b; Bel-Air; Morning Update on #SepulvedaFire : The fire is 25% contained and is what's called a "Dirty Burn". This means there is a mix of burned, un-burned and partially burned vegetation within the fire area. There are three sides to the fire: Alpha (left), Delta (top of ridge) and Zulu (right). Firefighters have hand lines in place on the Alpha side all the way to the ridge. Zulu side still has about 200' of line to lay to reach the ridge. The Type III Brush rigs are stationed along the top (Delta) and a water tender is supporting their operation, shuttling water to them (no fire hydrant available). Today, the crews will continue to work through the steep, difficult terrain to complete the fire line and increase containment. Weather remains critical with 96F temperatures, 9% humidity and winds at 9mph. There are no new injuries to report (2 firefighters evaluated for minor injury/medical complaint and released on scene during the night); FS 19; Batt 9; West Bureau; Council District 5; AR11 AR12 AR17 AR2 BC10 BC12 BC14 BC4 BC706 BC9 CL1 CM42 CM51 E102 E105 E108 E109 E19 E237 E27 E29 E290 E293 E36 E37 E38 E39 E44 E46 E48 E5 E59 E60 E63 E64 E69 E71 E72 E73 E75 E8 E8136 E8137 E8138 E8139 E8140 E82C E88 E90 E93 E98 E99 EM11 EM17 EM55 EM9 H1 H3 H4 H6 HA1 HA3 HA4 HA6 HE1 PI1 PI2 PI3 RA19 RA71 RA90 RT40 T37 T90 T93 WT77 WT88; CH7; 14 16; Margaret Stewart
