Firefighters quickly handled a structure fire in Compton Thursday morning. 

The blaze was first reported at around 7:30 a.m. in the 1300 block of N. Mona Boulevard, where Compton Fire Department firefighters found a structure engulfed in flames. 

Crews battled the fire from the ground and from a nearby roof, as shown when Sky2 arrived at the scene. 

The fire had been contained by 8 a.m., though Sky2 showed that the structure had sustained considerable damage as a result of the flames, with just the frame remaining amongst the burnt out debris. 

It was not immediately clear what started the fire.
