Update Greater Alarm Structure Fire; INC#0300; 01:05PM; 13755 N Glenoaks Bl; https://bit.ly/413JOly; #Sylmar; As Firefighters continue to systematically search the three unstable structures on the 1.6 acre parcel that were heavily damaged by fire, they have discovered an adult female deceased on the premises, bringing the current death total to two adult civilians. The earlier discovered decedent's age and gender have yet to be confirmed. An LAFD Human Remains Detection Canine has completed its search of the scene, and no additional civilian or responder injuries have been reported. LAFD and LAPD personnel continue to work in close coordination under a Unified Command as Los Angeles Fire Department Investigators seek the specific cause of the fire. The Los Angeles Police Department will be serving as the lead agency in the overall and ongoing incident investigation, working with the Medical Examiner's office, as that agency seeks to positively identify the decedents, as well as the specific cause, time and manner of their death.; FS 91; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; AR1 AR12 BC10 BC12 BC14 BC15 CM40 CM42 E18 E275 E287 E289 E290 E298 E7 E75 E87 E89 E91 E98 EA1 EM14 EM15 HR3 K902 PH1 PI1 RA18 RA889 RA89 RA891 RA91 SO1 SQ87 T75 T87 T89 T90 T98 UR88 UR89; CH8; 17 18; Brian Humphrey

Update Greater Alarm Structure Fire; INC#0300; 08:30AM; 13755 N Glenoaks Bl; https://bit.ly/413JOly; #Sylmar; LAFD Firefighters carefully examining the three structures heavily damaged by fire, have discovered weapons, ammunition and the remains of one person (undetermined age / gender / site affiliation) in the debris. No other injuries have been reported. As the three heavily damaged and structurally unstable buildings have been formally 'red-tagged' by the City's Department of Building & Safety as unfit for entry, LAFD crews will be working throughout the day alongside fire cause investigators, police officials and the Medical Examiner to assure hazard abatement that allows for a safe, thorough and methodical investigation of the fire scene, and removal of the decedent. LAFD and LAPD first responders remain deeply grateful to neighbors who quickly came forth at the time of the fire to share insight, observations and concerns, which allowed Firefighters and Police Officers to take immediate and effective action that protected neighbors, adjacent homes and emergency response personnel. LAFD Public Information Officer Captain Erik Scott remains at scene to assist the media.; FS 91; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; AR1 BC10 BC12 BC14 BC15 CM40 CM42 E18 E275 E287 E289 E290 E298 E7 E75 E87 E89 E91 E98 EA1 EM14 EM15 HR3 K902 PH1 PI1 RA18 RA889 RA89 RA891 RA91 SO1 SQ87 T75 T87 T89 T90 T98 UR88 UR89; CH8; 17 18; Brian Humphrey
