Woman, 100, and Man, 84, Die in Blaze
A 100-year-old woman and an 84-year-old man died Saturday night during a fire in their Topanga Canyon house, authorities said.
The blaze in the 600 block of Topanga Canyon Boulevard was reported at 8:06 p.m., and firefighters arrived a minute later, said Capt. Mark Savage of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Firefighters were able to pull the elderly victims from the smoke-filled house, but could not revive them, Savage said.
The relationship of the man and woman was unclear, he said. Two pet dogs also died in the fire. The cause is being investigated.
