Firefighters discover charred human remains in Los Feliz after dousing flames

A man was found dead inside a charred vehicle after a fire at a Los Feliz residence burned through three parked cars in a driveway and a two-story home Thursday afternoon.

Around 1:15 p.m., crews with the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the 2000 block of N. Edgemont Street, where three vehicles were on fire in the driveway area of the rear of a two-story residence.

The fire grew to a greater alarm structure fire, burning the two-story adjacent home, while flames threatened a third home.

As the fire was extinguished from the three burning cars, firefighters discovered the remains of a man inside one of the cars.
