LOS ANGELES — Two Los Angeles firefighters were burned fighting a three-story house fire in Sherman Oaks early Saturday, authorities said.
The fire was reported at 12:02 a.m. Saturday in the 4000 block of Sumac Drive, a winding hilly road off Beverly Glen Boulevard, authorities said. The house, which was unoccupied, has two stories below ground level and all three floors quickly became unstable.
Firefighters were ordered out of the structure and forced to fight the flames from the outside, according to authorities. Three firefighters, including a captain, were trapped in the structure, according to a Times source at the scene. The captain was unconscious when rescued.
