Eagle Rock home destroyed by fire

An Eagle Rock home was completely destroyed by a fire, but the family and their dog were able to get out safely.

LOS ANGELES - A two-story hillside home in Eagle Rock was destroyed by a fire Sunday, but no injuries were reported, authorities said.

The 74 firefighters dispatched at 11:36 a.m. to 4404 E. Toland Place had the blaze out within 57 minutes of their arrival, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.

"While the structure was a total loss, firefighters successfully defended the nearby vegetation and adjacent homes. Thankfully, both residents and their canine, who were home at the time of the fire, escaped without harm," said Nicolas Prange of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
