Fire erupts at Hollywood residence; LAFD crews swiftly extinguish flames

Firefighters responded to a large fire that broke out in the carport of a Hollywood residence Friday evening. 

The cause of the fire was not immediately known, but LAFD crews were dispatched to the scene on N. El Centro Avenue just before 8 p.m. 

With Sky9 overhead, the flames could be seen reaching out to a power line near the home, causing sparks to erupt repeatedly. 

Crews were able to quickly contain the flames before they were able to spread to any of the neighboring homes.
