House damaged by fire in Azusa
AZUSA -- A fire caused about $60,000 worth of damage to an Azusa home Sunday, authorities said.
The blaze was first reported about 7:15 a.m. at 427 S. Enid Ave., Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Tom Sullivan said.
Firefighters doused the fire, which was contained to the kitchen and laundry room of the single-story home, in about 10 minutes, he said.
A mother and several children who were inside were alerted to the fire by the smell of smoke and got out of the home before firefighters arrived, Sullivan said.
The blaze caused an estimated $40,000 worth of damage to the building, he added, and $20,000 worth of damage to items inside the home.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
The Red Cross was summoned to help find lodging for the family until the home can be repaired.
