LOS ANGELES — A Hollywood Hills, Calif., home owned by actor Jack Nicholson caught fire, injuring two firefighters, officials say.

The fire, which broke out Friday evening, took 90 minutes and 85 firefighters to extinguish, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“It was tricky, just because of where it was, on a hillside, dark, windy roads, a lot of brush,” said Matt Spence of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The extent of the injuries to the two firefighters is not known. Nicholson was not living at the house, but is listed as the owner.

He was renting the home to actor William Tynan, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles reported.
