Man found dead after crews extinguish house fire in Los Feliz
LOS ANGELES - An elderly man was found dead Thursday inside a car that caught fire following a house fire in Los Feliz.
Los Angeles firefighters responded to a home at 2030 N Edgemont St. around 2 p.m.
It took 50 firefighters just under an hour to access, confine and fully extinguish flames that extended from three parked cars into an adjacent two-story house.
Once the fire was extinguished, crews discovered the remains of an elderly man inside one of the cars. His identity has not been released, but fire officials say he was the homeowner. The fire also caused damage to the rear of the structure.
No other fatalities or injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
