Update Final Structure Fire; INC#1433; 11:00PM; 2994 W Pico Bl; https://bit.ly/30RSCMG; Harvard Heights; A fire in one 2nd floor unit at the rear of the two-story structure extended down an interior hallway to damage a unit at the front of the building, briefly trapping 3 civilian adult residents at windows and balconies, who were rescued by LAFD responders with ground ladders. The three civilians were in fair condition after sustaining smoke exposure, with two accepting offered ambulance transport to the hospital, and the other declining further medical care. One LAFD firefighter sustained a minor-to-moderate hand injury during the fierce fire attack, and was taken to the hospital for medical treatment. No other injuries were reported. The presence and functional status of required smoke alarms at the time of the fire could not be immediately determined. The building was not equipped with optional residential fire sprinklers. Four families, including an undetermined number of adults and children, were displaced by the fire. The American Red Cross was summoned to coordinate their immediate needs. The fire's cause remains under investigation.; FS 26; Batt 11; Central Bureau; Council District 10; - Brian Humphrey
