Knockdown Fatality Structure Fire 10/20/2022 INC#0255

Knockdown Fatality Structure Fire; INC#0255; 06:27AM; 405 S Cliffwood Av; https://bit.ly/3VB0my2; Brentwood; We arrived on scene to find a large two-story craftsman style house with lazy smoke. As firefighters made their way to the rear of the home, a significant yellow glow was apparent and we called for additional firefighters. We were told there’s possibly an elderly person inside, so with a heightened sense of urgency we commenced an aggressive interior attack and truck companies simultaneously cut holes on the roof to release the toxic smoke and gases. Firefighters inside rapidly made their way through heavy smoke conditions and quickly found the body of a 92-year-old female that was tragically determined dead in a rear bedroom on the first floor. Additional firefighters performed a thorough and strategic search of the large home to ensure no one else was inside. There were no other injuries. A total of 26 firefighters, under the command of battalion chief Joseph Everett, fully extinguished the flames in just 33 minutes. Per protocol for fatal fires, The cause is under active investigation by the LAFD Arson section. There were no functional smoke alarms found inside the home. Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.; FS 19; Batt 9; West Bureau; Council District 11; BC9 CM52 E19 E237 E288 E37 E63 E69 PH1 RA19 RA59 T37 T88; CH7; David Ortiz
