WHITTIER — A fire destroyed a garage in an unincorporated county area near Whittier Wednesday, authorities said.
The blaze was reported shortly before 2 p.m. in a garage to the rear of a home in the 7100 block of Norwalk Boulevard, Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Steve Zermeno said.
Firefighters found the garage “well-involved” with fire, but doused the flames in a matter of minutes, the inspector said.
The fire remained contained to the garage, which appeared to be a total loss, Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Rob Cendejas said. No injuries were reported.
The residents were not displaced from their house, he added.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
