Rick McClure shared some photos and video of City of Los Angeles (CA) Fire Department (LAFD) crews responding to a fire that had engulfed the attached garage and two vehicles at a home in the Porter Ranch section.

It took 31 LAFD firefighters just 25 minutes to access, confine, and fully extinguish the fire, which had fully involved the vehicles and the attached garage of a 2,314-square-foot, two-story home. Firefighters prevented the November 6 fire from extending into the home or attic, and no injuries were reported.
