The fire was reported a little after 2:30 a.m. in the 900 block of Stoneman Avenue.

About 10 trees caught fire. The blaze then spread to the roof and attic of an adjacent home.

A neighbor told CBSLA that he and his wife noticed the flames and rushed to alert to homeowners.

"She called 911, I ran out and banged on their door and their window and everything and got them out of the house," neighbor Tom Ruggeri told CBSLA.
