Woman severely burned in Leimert Park building fire
A woman was severely burned when a fire broke out at a two-story four-plex building in the Leimert Park neighborhood on Saturday afternoon.
The fire was first reported at around 4:15 p.m. in the 3000 block of W. Stocker Place, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
It was extinguished within 20 minutes, but firefighters say that the flames spread from the first-story unit it began and caused damage to the second-story unit above.
Paramedics rushed a woman, who has not yet been identified, to a nearby hospital in serious condition after she suffered severe burns.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
