At least 1 pet found dead following house fire in Reseda

A family pet was found dead after firefighters extinguished a blaze that erupted at a home in the Reseda neighborhood of Los Angeles Tuesday morning.

The blaze was reported around 8:15 a.m. at a two-story single-family home in the 7000 block of North Wilbur Avenue.

“Companies have had multiple challenges to overcome during this incident, including multi-level roofs, one double-layered roof, and very limited access to the second floor of a large addition,” Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Lantz said.

The residents of the home we able to get out safely but firefighters learned there were pets still unaccounted for on the second floor.

More than 50 firefighters eventually put out the blaze but did find at least one dog deceased inside the home, Lantz said.

There was no immediate word on what caused the fire.
