2 Injured In Downey House Fire
DOWNEY (CBSLA.com) — Two people suffered minor injuries Friday in a house fire in Downey.
The fire was reported just after 3 a.m. at a single-family home in the 9600 block of Telegraph Road.
A man and a woman in their 40s were inside when the flames broke out.
The man attempted to diminish the fire by bringing a garden hose through the front door.
Both suffered minor injuries. The woman was transported to a local hospital with smoke inhalation.
Firefighters were able to contain the flames to the front part of the home, but the entire residence was heavily damaged.
"It will be red-tagged," Batt. Chief Dan Hurlock said.
The cause was under investigation.
