LOS ANGELES — A fire at a multi-story apartment building in Van Nuys damaged two units and left a firefighter injured Monday, a department spokesman said.
About 50 firefighters took 19 minutes to knock down the flames at 6700 Woodley Ave., said the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Erik Scott.
The blaze was reported at 11:47 a.m., he said.
Winds blowing 15 to 20 mph fanned the flames as firefighters did their work, Scott said.
A first-floor unit in the multi-story building was “well-involved” in fire and suffered extensive damage, according to Scott. A second-floor unit had lesser damage.
One firefighter suffered a possible fractured foot and was transported to a local hospital, Scott said. There were no other injuries.
The cost of the damage and cause of the fire are under investigation, Scott said.
