Update #StructureFire; 9:56PM; 4057 Sea View Av; #MtWashington; Despite a dawn-to-dusk effort today by dozens of firefighters, assisted by a trio of cadaver detection canines that led to the movement by hand of tons of smoldering debris, Investigators have yet to discover human remains within the tons of burned rubble perched precariously on a Sea View Avenue hillside that once comprised a 9,111 square-foot three story hillside home that burned fiercely Thursday night. LAFD will remain at the scene again tonight to protect the neighborhood by stabilizing unstable debris and extinguishing hot spots. Early tomorrow, the Fire Department will bring in heavy equipment, including an excavator, to continue the dolorous task of finding the remains of an 84 year-old resident who is strongly believed to be deceased in the rubble. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The men and women of LAFD thank the Mount Washington community for their support, and apologize for any inconvenience this prolonged effort has caused.; Brian Humphrey | | Email subscriptions powered by FeedBlitz, LLC, 365 Boston Post Rd, Suite 123, Sudbury, MA 01776, USA. | | |
