This evening, LAFD and mutual aid units were dispatched to Westbury Ct for an apartment fire. Chief 1-12 arrived on scene with normal conditions. Upon entering the building, smoke was beginning to fill the building and the door to the reported apartment was found to be hot. E24 arrived first on scene and advanced a 2 1/2 in and found a water heater on fire. Truck 12 arrived and set up to vent if needed. E1-12 came in after the truck and prepared for water supply. The fire was quickly brought under control and the complex was vented via PPV. After minor overhaul, the box was cleared.
