LOS ANGELES -- In a tragic early morning fire today, two people have been found dead inside an auto repair shop in East Los Angeles. Two other were also injured in the blaze that took more than 120 firefighters to battle. More than 8 people were reported living in this commercial location.
The fire started around 6:30 a.m. at a tire and muffler repair shop along the 800 block of Esperanza Street and was captured on several local television news stations here in Southern California.
About 38 fire companies responded to the massive fire. More than 120 firefighters battled the blaze that took about an hour to knock out.
Then, during the search of the location, firefighters discovered the bodies of two people inside the building, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devon Gayle.
The badly-burned bodies were found in upstairs living quarters, officials said. The names of those who died have not been released and the bodies were so badly burned that the sex of them have not been determined at this time.
A man in his 60s was in critical condition after suffering second-degree and third-degree burns over 40-percent of his body, officials said. He was rushed to County USC Medical Center for treatment and the other burn victim was also being treated for his injuries.
More details as they develop.
