CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / LINCOLN HEIGHTS
Seven people, including three children, were injured early Monday in a fire at a Lincoln Heights apartment building, officials said.
The fire was reported about 3:15 a.m. at a fourplex in the 2800 block of Manitou Avenue, said Devin Gales, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department. Firefighters arrived to find the two-story building “well-involved” with visible flames and smoke, Gales said.
More than 100 firefighters battled the flames before snuffing out the blaze shortly before 4 a.m., Gales said.
The seven injured suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation and were taken to hospitals. Fifteen others were displaced by the fire, Gales said. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
