Four firefighters and one civilian after a car fire erupted into a fireball.
Information from LAFD Official Page
Vehicle Fire with Injuries; INC#1111; 02:29PM; 9750 N Wheatland Av; https://bit.ly/4dV84f8; #ShadowHills; PRELIM: A fire involving a (conventional gasoline fueled) coupe that contained excessive personal storage is now out. Three LAFD firefighters sustained non-life threatening burn injury from what is being tentatively described as an "explosion" while battling the blaze, and are now being transported to a regional burn center for primary medical assessment. No other injuries reported. There is no escalating or off-site hazard identified. The cause of the fire and "explosion" are under active investigation.; FS 77; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; AR1 BC12 BC14 CM40 CM42 E24 E77 EM14 JT2 PI2 RA74 RA77 RA98 SO1 WT77; CH8; 17; Brian Humphrey
Update Vehicle Fire with Injuries; INC#1111; 03:30PM; 9750 N Wheatland Av; https://bit.ly/4dV84f8; #ShadowHills; The earlier described "explosion" is best now defined instead as a large "fireball" that suddenly erupted from the burning vehicle shortly after LAFD arrival. There are now *five* total patients. Along with the three firefighters earlier mentioned with non-life threatening burn injuries, the fourth member of their four-person crew, who displayed no immediate injury or medical complaint, is now being taken to the same regional burn center for a baseline medical evaluation. The fifth patient, an adult male civilian associated with the burned coupe, sustained minor burns to his arm and leg, as well as singed facial hair. He will be transported by LAFD ambulance to an area hospital in fair condition. The cause of the vehicle fire remains under active investigation.; FS 77; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; AR1 BC12 CM40 CM42 E24 E77 EM14 JT2 JT4 RA74 RA77 RA874 RA98 SO1 SQ87 WT77; CH8; 17; Brian Humphrey
