2 Dogs, Missing As Fire Ravaged Hollywood Apartment Building, Found By Firefighters: LAFD

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Firefighters found two pet dogs who went missing as a fire ravaged an apartment building in East Hollywood Saturday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The fire broke out around 7:30 p.m. 1545 N. Hobart Blvd., just east of Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue. It took 30 firefighters about 20 minutes to access, confine and fully extinguish the fire, which broke out in one unit of the four-story building, according to the LAFD.

A man with an unspecified injury was transported to a local hospital.

After the fire was extinguished, firefighters went through the building to guide several residents outside to fresh air, assist others in sheltering in place and search for the two missing dogs, firefighters said.

The two dogs were found unharmed by firefighters and were medically assessed and cared for by crew at the scene, the LAFD said.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
