Knockdown - Structure Fire; INC#0422; 09:03AM; 1168 E 55th St; https://bit.ly/3g4St1G; CentralAlameda; Address numeric *corrected* to 1168. The first arriving 20 LAFD Firefighters took just 17 minutes to confine and fully extinguish stubborn flames within a 1,412 square-foot one-story home (built 1905). All occupants had exited the home safely on LAFD arrival, and one woman was medically evaluated for an unspecified medical concern, before being released at scene. Residents thankfully did NOT re-enter the home to find their missing dog, but instead stayed safely together outside the home to best inform first arriving firefighters, who quickly discovered and safely removed the pet from harm. There are no civilian, animal or responder injuries. The American Red Cross has been summoned to assist the 7 displaced residents ( 4 Adults / 3 Children ). The fire's cause has been determined electrical in nature.; FS 21; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 9; BC13 E209 E21 E221 E233 E33 RA246 RA846 SQ21 T21 T33 T9; CH9; 12; Brian Humphrey
