Sun Valley apartment fire leaves two critically-injured
A fire broke out at a Sun Valley apartment building in the 7000 block of N. Lankershim Blvd. around 11:45 a.m. Thursday.
A Los Angeles City Fire representative said the fire started in one apartment unit on the second floor of the four-story building.
Firefighters worked to prevent the flames from moving to the third floor and fire representatives said the fire was under control around 12:15 p.m.
Two people were hospitalized with "serious burn injuries" and remained in critical condition.
LAFD said that the fire doors, which automatically close in the case of a fire helped contain the fire and prevent more injuries.
