Terminal fire at LAX

The Eagles' Nest Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport caught fire recently. The fire department was able to put the fire out in less than an hour, and no one was injured.

LOS ANGELES - Firefighters knocked down a blaze Saturday at a one-story bungalow near Los Angeles International Airport.

Firefighters dispatched just after 11 a.m. to the area of LAX and American Eagles Nest had the fire out within 40 minutes of their arrival, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported.

"The fire extended fully into the attic and required a closely coordinated interior fire attack with truck companies on the roof conducting vertical ventilation," the LAFD's Margaret Stewart said.
