Attic fire damages Sylmar home

California

It took 28 Los Angeles City firefighters 38 minutes to extinguish a well-developed attic fire over a converted garage at 12813 N. Cometa Ave. in Sylmar on  Wednesday, officials said.

Fire crews performed salvage operations in the home to protect belongings, as other firefighters continued to attack the fire and pull out the ceiling to locate the seat of the fire.
